Health Sciences Students Immunization Requirements

*The university immunization submission platform is changing.*

• Effective September 18, 2023 through October 15, MedProctor will not be available for students to upload immunization submissions.
  • If you have complete immunization records, upload them to MedProctor before September 18 to satisfy the university requirement.
  • If you need more time to get your required immunizations, you will need to wait until October 16 to upload a fully completed immunization form (Health Sciences form) to the Bearcats Health App.
• Starting October 16, all students will use the Bearcats Health App to submit immunization documents.
• Due to this platform transition, the immunization deadline has been extended to November 1, 2023.
