Note: 

  • If you are unable to schedule a physical exam before the deadline, please complete and submit the remaining forms accompanied by a note indicating the date of your scheduled physical. Forward the results of your physical exam as soon as possible.
  • Your Immunization Record,  Physical Exam, and TB Risk Assessment forms must be signed by your healthcare provider. Immunization requirements differ from state to state.  Please check with your primary physician to ensure receipt of all required immunizations.
  • Requests for medical or religious exemptions may be granted in accordance with Massachusetts state law governing immunizations. In the event that there is an outbreak of any of these vaccine-preventable diseases, students who have been granted exemptions will be required to leave campus and will be readmitted when the period of communicability has passed.
  • If you have not completed a multi-dose series of a certain vaccine (ex. Hepatitis B), receive as many doses as medically advised before arriving in August.  Any outstanding doses may be administered during the academic year at Sturdy Health Primary Care – Norton, the student health center. Deductibles and copays apply and all charges will be billed to your insurance.
  • If you have not received the Meningitis vaccine (MEN ACWY), you must sign the waiver form included in the New Student Health Forms. This vaccine is strongly recommended. If you would like to receive the vaccine at any time during the academic year, the vaccine is available at the health center on campus. Deductibles and copays apply and all charges will be billed to your insurance.
