Health Requirements
UW–Madison and University Health Services have certain health requirements that allow us to best serve each student’s individual health needs and identify and collect specific information related to campus communicable disease prevention.
University policy requires all students to share their vaccination status. Certain health forms are required to access UHS services. This page shares information on how to complete these requirements.
Incoming students
Ahead of coming to campus, make sure you have completed three health requirements through MyUHS:
- Shared your vaccination status
- Shared your health history
- Completed required consent forms
Share Your Vaccination Status
UW–Madison requires students to share their vaccination status for certain common communicable disease. Students who do not complete this requirement are subject to a registration hold that will delay future course enrollment.
About This Requirement
University policy requires students to share their vaccination status for the following communicable diseases, which are recommended for college students:
- Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR)
- Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis (Tdap)
- Varicella (Chicken Pox)
- Meningococcal (ACWY, B)
- Hepatitis B
This is not a requirement of vaccination—it is a requirement to share your vaccination status for these diseases.
What You Need to Do
- If you are vaccinated, upload your vaccination records through MyUHS.
- If you are not vaccinated or do not have proof of immunity, complete a brief attestation form through MyUHS.
For more information and instructions, access the UHS Vaccination Records webpage.

Health Forms
This form is required to use UHS services. You will not be able to receive medical or mental health care at University Health Services without completing this form.
Students who are under the age of 18 as of August 15 must have a parent or legal guardian sign a minor consent form to be eligible to receive all UHS services. Without a signed minor consent form, many UHS medical and mental health services cannot be provided. STI testing, contraceptives, pregnancy testing, and sexual assault-related services are available to minors without parent/legal guardian consent.
Enter information on your medications, allergies, and health history. This information will help your UHS health providers better understand your health to provide the care you need.
