Health Form Requirements

The Health Center has two health forms for new students. These two forms replace the Confidential Health Report Certificate. The first health form, Required Immunization and Health Information form, can be obtained from our website: http://www.albany.edu/health_center under Health Forms (left hand column), must be completed and returned to the Health Center within two weeks of registration.

In addition:

The second form is optional. The Optional Health History form can be obtained from our website: http://www.albany.edu/health_center under Health Forms (left hand column). It is recommended that all students have a complete medical evaluation performed prior to attendance at UAlbany. (This is especially important for any students with medical/psychiatric conditions requiring ongoing care, student athletes and students born or arriving from outside the U.S.)  

• A complete medical evaluation allows your primary care physician to determine any special needs you may require once you arrive on campus.

• Completion of this form provides Medical Personnel at the Student Health Center with valuable information which improves the care they provide.

• Completion of this form clarifies a student-athlete’s ability to participate in intercollegiate athletics.
  (All athletes trying out for an intercollegiate sport are required to obtain clearance to participate in athletics from their primary care physician prior to tryouts).  

• Completion of this form enables anyone born outside the U.S. to clarify any health issues which may impact their participation with campus life.  

Thank you.
