Medical Clearances and Immunization Records

All Morgan State University students are required to complete the University's medical clearance requirements through the Student Health Portal before their assigned deadline. Completing these requirements helps protect the health and safety of the campus community, supports compliance with University health policies, and ensures students are eligible to continue their academic enrollment.

Important: Registration Hold 

Students who do not complete all required medical clearance requirements by their assigned deadline will have a registration hold placed on their student account by the University Health Center. This hold will prevent registration for future courses and will remain in place until all required medical forms, immunization records, and supporting documentation have been submitted, reviewed, and approved by the University Health Center.

Submitting documentation alone does not satisfy your medical clearance requirements. Your records must be reviewed and approved before the registration hold can be removed.

Complete Your Medical Clearances

Follow the steps below to complete your medical clearance requirements.

Step 1: Log Into the Student Health Portal

Access the Student Health Portal using your Morgan State University user name and password.

Through the portal, you will:

  • Complete required health forms
  • Enter immunization dates
  • Upload required medical documentation
  • Monitor your clearance status
  • Receive secure messages from the University Health Center
Step 2: Verify Your Student Profile

Before completing your health requirements, verify that your personal information is accurate.

Please update and confirm your:

  • Mobile phone number
  • Morgan State University email address
  • Home address
  • Emergency contact information

Your profile must be complete before submitting medical documentation. This information must updated and confirmed in the portal prior to proceeding to the next step. 

Step 3: Complete Your Health History

Complete all required health history questionnaires within the Student Health Portal.

Depending on your individual health history, you may be asked to provide information regarding:

  • Current medical conditions
  • Allergies
  • Prescription medications
  • Previous surgeries
  • Hospitalizations
  • Mental health history
  • Family medical history

If you report a pre-existing medical condition, indicate that you are currently receiving treatment from a healthcare provider, or report taking prescription medication, the University Health Center may require you to submit a current treatment plan or other supporting medical documentation from your treating provider. This documentation helps ensure continuity of care and enables the University Health Center to appropriately support your healthcare needs while you are enrolled at Morgan State University.

Treatment plan documentation must:

  • Be prepared on the healthcare provider's official letterhead.
  • Include the healthcare provider's signature.
  • Include the healthcare provider's office stamp (if applicable).
  • Describe your current diagnosis or medical condition, as appropriate.
  • List all current prescription medications, including dosage and frequency, if applicable.
  • Outline your current treatment plan and any recommendations for ongoing care or follow-up.
  • Include any activity restrictions, accommodations, emergency care instructions, or other information the University Health Center should be aware of, when applicable.

Examples of treatment plan documentation may include but is not limited to:

  • A provider letter summarizing your current medical condition and treatment.
  • A medication management plan.
  • An asthma action plan.
  • A diabetes management plan.
  • A seizure action plan.
  • A severe allergy or anaphylaxis action plan.
  • A mental health treatment plan or provider statement, when applicable.

Documentation requirements vary based on your individual health history. If additional information is needed, the University Health Center will notify you directly through your MSU email account. 

Note: Please answer all health history questions completely and accurately. Incomplete questionnaires or missing required documentation may delay your medical clearance.

Step 4: Complete Required Forms and Consents

Review and electronically complete all required forms before submitting your medical records.

These may include:

  • Consent to Treat
  • Notice of Privacy Practices
  • Patient Rights and Responsibilities
  • Financial Responsibility Agreement
  • Emergency Contact Verification
  • Medical or Religious Vaccine Exemption Request (if applicable)
    • To locate and submit the Vaccine Exemption Form, please follow these instructions:
      • Click Optional Forms (located on the left side)
      • Click Preview under the Vaccine Exemption Request Form
      • Complete the form, ensure all fields are completed with the all signatures required and submit as a PDF for review.

Students requesting an exemption should upload all required supporting documentation through the Student Health Portal.

Step 5: Submit Your Immunization Records

Medical clearances require both entering your immunization dates and uploading official documentation.

Enter Your Immunization Dates

Enter every vaccine exactly as it appears on your official immunization record.

Verify that each date is accurate before submitting.

Upload Your Official Immunization Records

Upload a complete copy of your official immunization record.

Acceptable documentation includes records from:

  • Physician offices
  • Health departments
  • Previous schools or colleges
  • Military records
  • Official immunization registries

Documentation must:

  • Clearly display your full name
  • Include your date of birth
  • Show all required vaccination dates
  • Be legible and complete
  • Be uploaded as a PDF whenever possible

Screenshots, incomplete records, or illegible documentation may delay approval.

Required Immunizations

Students must meet the University's immunization requirements before medical clearance can be approved.

Hepatitis B

Varicella (Chickenpox)
Documentation of two (2) doses of Varicella vaccine, or laboratory evidence (positive titer) demonstrating immunity. A self-reported history of chickenpox is not accepted.
Tuberculosis (TB) Screening International students and students identified as having an increased risk of tuberculosis exposure. Students identified as high risk may be required to submit additional documentation, such as a TB blood test (IGRA), Tuberculin Skin Test (PPD), or chest X-ray, as directed by the University Health Center.
Sickle Cell Trait Screening (Student-Athletes Only) Student-athletes must provide documentation of a previous Sickle Cell Trait test, laboratory results confirming status, or complete the NCAA-approved waiver, as required by Morgan State University Athletics and NCAA guidelines.

NOTE: Official immunization records must be submitted through the Student Health Portal. Documentation must be legible, include your full name and date of birth, and be issued by a licensed healthcare provider, health department, school, military, or other official immunization registry. 

After You Submit

The University Health Center will review your submitted documentation.

If additional information or corrections are needed, you will receive a secure message through the Student Health Portal.

Please continue monitoring your portal until your medical clearance status indicates that all requirements have been approved.

Submitting documentation does not automatically satisfy your medical clearance requirements.
