Incoming Student Prerequisites

Required of all students: (including Metro College, graduate and professional students)

In keeping with the recommendations of the American College Health Association, Samford University requires certain immunizations upon matriculation. All students are required to submit the Immunization Record to Student Health Services prior to registering for their first semester classes. The record must be signed by a health care provider or health department stamp. Failure to submit this documentation within two weeks of the first day of class will result in a $150 fine and a registration hold on the student’s record. See deadlines.

Required of all residential students:

All undergraduate students living in university housing are required to submit the Residence Life Health Form in addition to the Immunization Record. The physical examination and laboratory work must be within twelve months of submission to Student Health Services and will only be accepted on the Residence Life Health Form provided. Students will not be permitted to take up occupancy in the residence halls until the Residence Life Health Form and Immunization Record have been received by Student Health Services in their entirety.
