Today's Tip: How to Submit Immunization Records

At the University of Maryland, we want to make sure that all of our students are healthy. The University of Maryland requires ALL students, including those who are taking classes online, to complete the University Health Center Immunization Record Form and submit proof of immunizations in order to attend University of Maryland and register for classes. Please read the instructions below carefully to make sure you satisfy all requirements of the University Health Center.
