Each student accepted for admission must submit, prior to registration, a Medical History form and the required Immunization forms described below. These immunization and health form requirements were passed by the governing body of the Florida system and must be strictly adhered to by UWF.

The downloadable forms can be found on the Student Health Center's website at http://uwf.edu/healthcenter/immunizations.cfm.

Meningitis and Hepatitis B:
Effective July 1, 2008, all new UWF undergraduate and graduate students must provide documentation of vaccinations against meningococcal meningitis and hepatitis B or provide a signed waiver for each declined vaccination.

• Any new student 18 or older who chooses not to be vaccinated against either meningococcal meningitis or hepatitis B must sign a statement indicating he/she has been made aware of the potential fatal nature of the diseases and he/she chooses not to be vaccinated.
• Any new minor student (under 18) must provide signed parental/guardian consent to opt out of vaccination from either of the diseases.

Measles, Mumps, and Rubella:
Students born after December 31, 1956 must submit documented proof of immunity to Measles (Rubeola) and German Measles (Rubella).

Submitting Your Health Information:
Submit your Medical History form and the required Immunization forms to the Student Health Center prior to your Orientation date so that you may register for classes at your Orientation Session.

You may submit the forms in person to the Student Health Center (Building 63) or to the Dean of Students Office (Building 21, Room 130). You may also submit the forms via mail, fax, or email (scanned attachment):
