Greetings!

At the University of Maryland, we want to make sure that all our students are healthy. Therefore, all new students have to meet certain health requirements in order to enroll at UMD. Please read the instructions below carefully to make sure you satisfy all requirements of the University Health Center.  Failure to complete these items may result in a block on your account (inability to register for classes, etc.).  But more than that, it will also likely save you time and money if you can prepare for these requirements prior to your arrival to UMD.  
Today's Tip: How to complete the Immunization Form and other important Information from our Health Center

IMMUNIZATION FORM OVERVIEW
  • The Health Center requires you to submit the completed form below (in English) no later than August 24, 2018 or you will receive a "registration block," meaning you will be unable to register for courses or adjust your course schedule.
  • Please submit the forms online- the earlier the better!
  • All students are required by the University Health Center to submit their immunization information online or in person.  A copy of the immunizationform with instructions can be found here: http://www.health.umd.edu/sites/default/files/ImmunizationRecordForm.pdf
  • Completed forms should be submitted to the Health Center via  www.myuhc.umd.edu
  • Students must:
    1. input their information online, and
    2. upload their supporting documentation (see Immunization Form for details). Health Center staff will contact students by secure email message once their forms have been reviewed, and will let them know if if they need to set up an appointment to complete immunization requirements. 

     
    Students who receive an message from Health Center staff stating that an appointment is required should follow up by making an appointment. Do not make an appointment unless you have received an email from the Health Center staff stating that you need one.  Appointments can be made online at  www.myuhc.umd.edu, or by calling the Health Center.   International  Immunization  and Clinic Form Review is available on the following dates: August 17August 20-24, and August 27, 2018.  Hours are between 9am-11am and 1 pm- 3:30pm.  No appointments are needed. Please be sure to arrive with your photo ID and any insurance information you have.  Please note, if you intend to have a TB blood test done, you may eat beforehand, as food does not affect the blood test result.                                                                 
    All questions about  immunization requirements should be addressed to the Health Center  Immunization Office at 301-314-8114.  Alternatively, you can send questions by secure email message, by logging on to  www.myuhc.umd.edu, and clicking on Messages on the left side of the page.   

     If you have not already uploaded your immunizations online, you should bring proof of immunizations with you.  Please remember that TB blood tests done outside of the US will not be accepted.
