Resources for Incoming Students and Families

Please log into the CHWS communication portal to upload your immunization records and complete the Health History form. Here, you can upload your COVID-19 vaccine record along with your other immunization records and your insurance card. Please also opt into text message reminders for appointments in the Profile section. You must input your mobile phone carrier in order to receive text messages.
Vaccine record review may take several weeks. You will receive a message through the communication portal if further information is required.
Our office does not bill insurance for visits, but insurance information may be used for lab billing or referrals to off campus providers when necessary.
For those who prefer to complete a paper form, you may complete a hard copy Health History form and submit it to our office.

Vaccination Exemptions

The University of Puget Sound requires that all students provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination (primary series plus a booster) and proof of MMR vaccination. Students who cannot be vaccinated due to medical or religious reasons need to fill out an exemption form. This form needs to be printed, signed, and submitted through the CHWS portal. Please note that if you are requesting a medical exemption, documentation from your primary healthcare provider is required.
