Health Requirements

Boston University is concerned about the health and wellness of its entire student community. To this end, the University requires that every incoming student (freshman, transfer, or graduate) have a physical examination by a licensed practitioner and be immunized against the following common communicable diseases; measles, mumps, rubella (MMR), tetanus, hepatitis-B, and (bacterial) meningitis.

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts requires that all full-time undergraduate and graduate students, all full-time and part-time health science students, and any full-time or part-time international students submit proof of immunization. You can find the state requirements summarized here.

The “Student Information, Medical History and Physical Report” or “Health Form," available on the Boston University Student Health Services web site, outlines the requirements. When completing the form, please be sure to include immunization dates as well as the signature of your health care provider. This information should then be returned to:

Student Health Services

881 Commonwealth Avenue, West
Boston, MA 02215

You may also fax the information to (617) 353-7224 or (617)353-3557.
