Medical Records

Syracuse University Health Record. Local public health laws require that all students provide documentary evidence of immunizations (measles, mumps, rubella, and meningitis). Please complete the attached four-page Syracuse University Health Record with your doctor/physician and mail or hand carry it to SU Health Services. If you cannot supply these records to the University prior to or upon your arrival, you will require immunization at a charge of approximately $45 and insurance may not cover this expense. Please avoid this expense by providing your completed medical records to the University prior to or upon arrival. (1) For Graduates students the SU Health Service form is included with their immigration documents' packet; and for Undergraduate students it is in the Admissions Booklet.

Tuberculosis Testing

As part of the health clearance process for new students, Syracuse University Health Services requires thorough tuberculosis screening in accordance with state and county guidelines. This clearance process is mandated before you will be able to register for classes and may require additional testing when you arrive at the University. If a chest x-ray is medically indicated for this clearance, it must be taken and read in the United States or Canada within 3 months of arrival. Therefore please plan to have all your tuberculosis testing done as part of health clearance at the Syracuse University Health Services immediately after arrival on campus.
