Student Records

Student Health Records

For the health and safety of our campus community, the Student Health Center must have an up-to-date health history for each student that includes information such as food/drug allergies, medical conditions, medications, etc.  All students may submit health information to the Point Park University Student Health Center through a single electronic Student Medical Report Form. Health documentation requirements vary based on a student’s housing status.

Who is required to submit health records?

Health documentation is required for undergraduate on-ground students.

• Undergraduate students living in campus housing must meet full immunization requirements, including vaccines required for residential students.
• Undergraduate students not living in campus housing must meet limited immunization requirements, as defined by university policy.
• Graduate and doctoral students are not required to submit health records.

Graduate and doctoral students may voluntarily submit health information to the Student Health Center. If submitted, those records will be maintained in the student’s health record. However, incomplete or missing documentation for graduate or doctoral students will not result in disciplinary action, registration holds, or compliance enforcement.

Submission of health documentation does not, in itself, establish a provider-patient relationship with the Student Health Center.

Important Information for Student Athletes

Student Health Center forms and Athletics medical forms are separate requirements. The Student Health Center does not complete, review, or forward Athletics forms, and Athletics forms will not be accepted in place of Student Health requirements.

Deadlines for Records

Fall Deadline - Aug. 1

Spring Deadline - Jan. 1 

How to Submit

All students must complete the Student Medical Report Form, which includes:

• Health history
• Emergency contact information
• Consent for care
• Needs assessment
• Immunization documentation upload

Students will upload their immunization records directly within the form. Students who are unsure of their immunization status should still submit available records. The Student Health Center will review submissions and follow up if additional information is needed. The Student Health Center does not accept physical copies of the student health records.  If you need assistance, please email studenthealth@pointpark.edu 

Immunization Requirements

Immunization requirements depend on whether you will be living in campus housing.

For full details, including required vaccines and documentation guidelines, please visit the Immunization Requirements page.

Immunization Exemptions

Students requesting an immunization exemption must complete and upload the required exemption form as part of the Student Medical Report Form.
