Student Immunization Requirements
Northwestern students are required to show proof of immunizations and to complete the Student Immunization Form for Non-Healthcare Students. Your completed immunization form must be mailed or uploaded by July 1.
Immunization Form
Go to the New Students page of the Health Service website to find information and the link to the immunization form; mailing and uploading instructions appear on page 1 of the form.
Once the Health Service processes your form, an email will be sent to your Northwestern account to confirm receipt and to alert you to any missing information or unmet requirements.
All student immunization requirements must be met no later than 30 days after classes begin. Students with unmet requirements will be unable to register for, drop, or add courses in subsequent academic quarters and will be assessed a nonrefundable $100 late fee. Please make copies of your completed records and bring them to campus for your reference.
Note that student immunization requirements are distinct from medical insurance requirements. See the Student Medical Insurance page for information about insurance.
Optional Mental Health Disclosure Form
In accordance with the Illinois Student Optional Disclosure of Private Mental Health Act, you have the option to identify a designated person (such as a parent or guardian) who would be notified in the event that a qualified mental healthcare provider employed by Northwestern determines that you might pose a clear danger to yourself or others. View the form authorizing disclosure of private mental health information. Please mail the completed form to the Office of the Registrar at the address shown on the form; do not submit it to the Health Service.
