Health Record

The University Health Center requires a complete health record form on file, prior to your enrollment at JMU.

The Health Record provides necessary medical information for the purpose of treating an eligible student when they come to the University Health Center. The UHC 2009-2010 Health Record Form must be completed by you and your physician and returned to the University Health Center. If your form is not received by July 15, 2009 for the 2009 fall semester and December 15, 2009 for the 2010 spring semester, you will be subject to a registration hold placed on your account.

THE HEALTH RECORD IS DUE :

 JULY 15 - For Incoming Fall Semester Students Starting in August

 DECEMBER 15 - For Incoming Spring Semester Students Starting in January

The TB screening/skin test must be placed on or after MARCH 1, 2009. Disregard the August 1 date.

Immunizations

In addition to the health record and evaluation forms, we have included detailed information sheets regarding immunizations, meningococcal infection and Hepatitis B. We are obligated to provide this information to you in accordance with Centers for Disease Control guidelines. It is general information that is very pertinent and deserves your full attention. Please read each section carefully.

The Code of Virginia (Section 23-7.5) requires all eligible students to provide documentation of their immunizations. Vaccines are available for a fee at UHC for enrolled students. However, vaccine administration prior to arriving on campus is encouraged, as UHC does not bill health insurance.

Religious Exemption

Any student who objects on the grounds that administration of immunizing agents conflicts with his religious tenets or practices shall be exempt from the immunization requirements unless an emergency or epidemic of disease has been declared by the Board of Health. An affidavit of religious exemption must be submitted on a Certificate of Religious Exemption (Form CRE-1) which may be obtained at any local health department, school division superintendent's office or local department of social services. This form must be notarized.

Attention Seniors

The University Health Center recommends you request a copy of your immunization record prior to graduation. This is an important document to have for future records.

Please complete the *Health Information Release (.pdf format) and submit it by mailing or faxing the form to:
Health Information
MSC 7901
Harrisonburg, VA 22807
Fax # 540.568.6176.

Your request will be processed within 7 business days of receiving the completed form.
