New students at JMU are required by state law to submit specific information about immunizations. JMU does not require a physical exam, but you must comply with the immunization requirement and TB screening form. The Health Center has an interface with the Virginia Immunization System, so some immunizations may automatically come across into your record.
For students starting Fall semester health requirements are due by July 6. For students starting Spring semester, these are due by January 5. It is mandatory that you complete the following steps before attending classes:
- Log in to your MyJMUChart Patient Portal and review the set of instructions for new students, including what tabs to click on and what to upload.
- Check the status of your immunizations.
- Complete the TB Assessment.
- Upload your insurance information.
- Check your JMU email and secure messages on MyJMUChart Patient Portal for confirmation that your record has been verified and is complete. Your pre-entry health requirements are not complete until you receive that confirmation. An enrollment hold impacting your ability to enroll in future semester classes and a fine will be placed on your account if your immunizations and TB Assessment survey are not deemed complete by Health Center staff.
