Required Medical Forms For All New Incoming Students
Holy Cross Health Services requires all new incoming students to submit the Holy Cross Medical Record Forms. Forms should be completed and uploaded by Monday August 12th, 2024, or 1 week prior to your arrival on campus, whichever comes earliest.
***PLEASE SEE OUR FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS PAGE FOR LOTS OF INFORMATION ON THE MOST COMMON QUESTIONS!!!!***
Health Services staff will review and verify all incoming students' records. Please note that it takes us time to get through all records, so do not be concerned if your record says "not verified." It is extremely helpful to us if you ensure your immunization dates are all typed in, otherwise, we have to enter them manually, which takes a significant amount of time for over 800 students. Thank you!
Immunization History
The Holy Cross form, or a form from your doctor's office must be uploaded to the portal. All students are required to enter their immunization dates and upload forms into the Patient Portal. The Health Services staff will verify that the immunization data correlates with the data that was submitted online. For more information, please see Massachusetts regulations regarding immunizations.
Massachusetts residents will note their immunization history automatically uploads from the state immunization registry, and these students who received all their childhood immunization in the state of MA will not have to upload the immunization form or input any data.
For out of state students, please use the Verivax feature on the portal. Under the immunizations tab, click the YELLOW button stating "Request my Out of State Immunization Registry Records." Enter any addresses lived as a child, only address per state. Your state immunization registry will submit your records directly into the portal.
Students requesting an exemption for an immunization must complete the exemption form. A medical exemption must have documentation of the medically necessary exemption from a medical provider. If an outbreak of vaccine-preventable disease should occur, an exempt student will be excluded from class and/or the residence halls for a period of time.
Physical Examination Form
The form should be printed and completed by your healthcare provider and uploaded into the Patient Portal. Please note that you are NOT required to use the Holy Cross form, and may upload what your provider's office gives you, as long as it has the relevant information on it-- name, date of birth, allergies, current medications, and medical history.
