Health Requirements
To register for on-campus (including hybrid) courses at UH West Oʻahu, students must fulfill a set of health requirements, including vaccinations and clearances. Students who have not met all of their health clearance requirements may only register for online classes. The following is the list of requirements:
Two doses of Measles, Mumps, Rubella vaccination. Students born prior to 1957 are exempt from the MMR immunization requirement.
One dose of Tdap vaccine.
Two doses of Varicella vaccine. Students born in the United States prior to 1980 are exempt from the Varicella immunization requirement. Students with documented history of Varicella disease, signed by a US licensed physician, APRN or PA, may be substituted for a record of Varicella vaccination.
TB Clearance obtained within twelve months prior to the start of instruction OR obtained on or after the age sixteen.
Department of Health Requirements
The Hawai’i Administrative Rules, Chapter 11-157, requires all students to meet health requirements before they attend any post-secondary school in the state.
- Immunizations: A record of immunizations, signed or stamped by a U.S. licensed practitioner (physician, Advanced Practice Registered Nurse, or Physician Assistant) or the Hawaiʻi Department of Health, must be presented for school attendance.
- Tuberculosis (TB) Clearance: For information regarding TB clearance requirements, contact the Hawaiʻi Department of Health Tuberculosis Control Branch. Phone: (808) 832-5731 Website: health.hawaii.gov/tb
Where can I get immunizations?
Talk to your doctor. If you don’t have a doctor and need one, call Aloha United Way 2-1-1. Print the UH Health Immunization Clearance Form and bring it to your medical provider. The medical practitioner will review the requirements, enter the required information, and sign each form. Note that forms must be completed by a US licensed practitioner. A US licensed practitioner signed record of immunizations (and any supporting documentation – with dates) may be submitted in lieu of the UH Health Clearance Form.
MED+Proctor
The University of Hawaiʻi has partnered with Med+Proctor for the clearance of Health Immunization Records. As of spring 2023, all incoming students are required to use Med+Proctor to submit their Health Clearance/Immunization records.
To submit your records for clearance, use the following instructions to create your Med+Proctor account:
Step One: Register
- Ensure you have been admitted and have a HAWAII.EDU username before completing this process. Click here if you need assistance with finding your username.
- Then go to Med+Proctor to register for an account.
Step Two: Gather your documents
- If you have your health clearance records, you may upload that to Med+Proctor. Or if documentation is not available, you may download the UH Health Clearance Form and have a licensed medical provider complete the form. (A licensed provider can sign the form; it does not have to be the provider who originally vaccinated you.)
Step Three: Upload
- Once you’ve collected all the necessary documents and or your form has been completed and signed by a healthcare provider, log back into your account and upload it to Med+Proctor. (If you have proof of immunization from a pharmacy, you may upload those and Med+Proctor will be able to verify this information.)
