Health Requirements & Forms

Health Services Patient Portal

Please submit all documentation through the Student Health Portal. For electronic medical record security, we are unable to accept forms by fax or email.

Per Massachusetts regulations, as a condition of enrollment at the university and subsequently, treatment at Health Services, all full-time students, and part-time health majors are required to have their health forms on file.

Important COVID-19 Information

All enrolled students are required to have completed a primary COVID-19 vaccination series. Additionally, students are required to obtain a booster shot within 30 days of eligibility.

To find a vaccination site near you visit the Massachusetts Vax Finder website.

Once students have had their booster, they should upload their booster information to the student health portal.

UMass Lowell will evaluate requests for medical and religious exemption consistent with state and federal laws. Information about applying for a vaccination exemption can be obtained by calling 978-934-6800 or by emailing wellness_center@uml.edu. Exemption requests for the primary COVID-19 vaccines are due 30 days prior to the start of the semester. Exemptions are active for the academic year. Students with existing exemptions will need to re-submit their requests for each academic year.
