Important health-related information for incoming students
In addition to the requirements for new undergraduate and graduate students, there is important health-related information you should familiarize yourself with before coming to campus:
- Read about New Jersey law for immunization requirements for higher education - See N.J.A.C. 8:57-6.1 through 6.21.
- If you are under the age of 18 at the time of your arrival on campus, your parent or guardian must grant permission for the health care of a minor by June 30, and upload the form to MyUHS.
- Review a list of recommended medical supplies we recommend you bring to campus.
- Allergy shots can be administered at UHS.
If you have any questions, review our FAQ on Completing Immunization and Health History for Incoming Students or email uhs@princeton.edu.
