Frequently Asked Questions

You should complete as many of the portal and health forms as you can including the self report health history and TB screening. Be sure to look at the immunization requirements which can be found on the Health Center webpage in preparation for your appointment. We will need all forms completed no later than July 1st.  

No. Physical exams performed by a relative will not be accepted.

Yes, these forms will provide the basis for your medical chart which will be utilized when you visit the Student Health Center. You must complete these forms in addition to any forms that may be required separately by Meredith College Athletic Department. Some forms can be shared between departments after a release of information is completed.

NC Immunization Law (General Statute 130A 155.1) states that freshmen entering college for the first time must present physician-signed/clinic stamped evidence of the immunizations noted as required on the health form. The law requires that students be pulled from classes if they have not presented an immunization record. Please note that the student is not permitted to pick and choose what state required immunizations they want to receive. To learn more about Meredith’s immunization requirements, please visit the Vaccine and Exemptions page on our website.

North Carolina law provides for only two types of exemptions from required immunizations:

  • Medical exemptions can only be requested by a physician licensed to practice medicine in North Carolina. Medical exemptions for required immunizations will only be granted upon submission of either a Medical Exemption Statement (DHHS 3987) or Physicians Request for Medical Exemption (DHHS 3995).  Both of these exemptions require a signature by a Physician in North Carolina. These forms can be found on the Immunize NC website.
  • Individuals whose religious beliefs prevent them from obtaining any immunizations should complete a religious exemption form. Please download this form, complete it, and submit it through the portal. According to North Carolina general statute 130A-157, “upon submission of a written statement of the bona fide religious beliefs and opposition to immunizations the person may attend college without presenting a certificate of immunization”. This form must be written and signed by the student if age eighteen or older or the parent if the student is under the age of eighteen.

You should start the series, have your provider note the dates on your immunization record and send your immunization record to us. We will assist you in completing the series after your arrival here or let you know if it is acceptable for you to complete the series at home over the academic breaks. The series must be completed within an acceptable timeframe or North Carolina law requires that you be removed from classes.

The NCAA-required sickle cell test report should be uploaded in the documents on the student wellness portal. Per NCAA requirements, you will also need to sign and acknowledge the provided sickle cell education form on the student wellness portal.
