The University of Hawaii System has partnered with Med+Proctor for the collection and verification of health immunization records. To submit your immunization records, and to learn more about the UH immunization policy, please visit the University of Hawaii Systems website.
All students must comply with the health clearance requirements in order to attend in-person courses. Do not bring, fax, mail or email any health clearance forms to University Health Services. All documents must be uploaded to Med+Proctor for timely review and processing.
John Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM) students must follow the University Health Partners of Hawaii website guidelines or contact JABSOMMR@UCERA.ORG for further assistance
Required Health Clearances:
- Immunizations:
- Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR)
- Tetanus-diphtheria-pertussis (Tdap)
- Varicella (chickenpox)
- Meningococcal Conjugate (MCV) **
- Tuberculosis (TB) Clearance
**MCV is only required for students (age 21 or younger) who will be living in on-campus housing for the first time. This requirement does not impact registration. For questions regarding the MCV requirement for housing purposes, please contact Student Housing Services.
Medical & Religious Exemptions:
All medical and religious exemption requests must be uploaded to Med+Proctor. Please keep in mind there is no medical and/or religious exemption for TB clearance. Additionally, TB clearance is required to participate in any on-campus activity (eg. in-person classes, etc.).
- Persons claiming a religious exemption to immunization requirements must sign the following Religious Exemption Form for Immunizations (PDF).
- Persons claiming a medical exemption to immunization requirements must have their physician sign the Medical Exemption Form (PDF).
Check your Health Clearances:
Health and immunization requirements may be viewed in your STAR GPS:
- Log into STAR GPS
- In GPS Registration, click on the clipboard icon on your registration cart
Once all documents have been verified and cleared, the popup message will read “Immunization/health requirements have been met for the registration semester”. Click ‘More’ to see what else you are missing, if any.
Deadlines to Submit Immunizations:
In order to register for in-person courses, students must have all health clearance records verified in Med+Proctor before registration. Students may view their registration time ticket in STAR GPS or the UH Manoa Registration Timetable. Students that have any outstanding health clearance requirements at the time of registration, will only be eligible to register for online-only courses.
Failure to complete the required health clearances before the deadline may result in the disenrollment of in-person/hybrid courses.
| Semester | Deadline to Submit Health Clearance | Disenrollment of In-Person Courses |
|---|---|---|
| Fall 2023 | August 1, 2023 | August 2, 2023 |
| Spring 2024 | TBA | TBA |
International Students:
New incoming F-1 and J-1 Visa international students have been provided a temporary health clearance extension in their STAR GPS. This will allow new incoming international students additional time to complete health clearance requirements should they need to complete their health clearances after arriving in Hawaii. Failure to complete the required health clearances before the deadline may result in the disenrollment of in-person/hybrid courses.
| Semester | Deadline to Submit Health Clearance | Disenrollment of In-Person Courses |
|---|---|---|
| Fall 2023 | August 17, 2023 | August 18, 2023 |
| Spring 2024 | TBA | TBA |
Remember: TB Risk Assessments, TB skin tests, and TB chest x-rays must be completed in the US by a U.S. licensed healthcare provider (M.D., D.O., A.P.R.N., N.P., or P.A.). The university does not accept these results from overseas doctors/clinics. Students who would like to complete their TB clearance overseas may only submit QuantiFERON Gold In-Tube or T-Spot Blood Test results.
