Medical Forms for New Students

Congratulations on your acceptance to Colgate.

Requirements For All New Students

Colgate University requires all new students to complete and submit health information before the start of class. This information is necessary to comply with University and New York state requirements to help us direct your health care during your time at Colgate.

The deadline for submission is July 1 for the fall semester and January 9 for the spring semester.

Your Checklist:

  • Activate your Patient Portal account (you should receive a separate email with instructions)
  • Download and complete all required Colgate Medical forms on the Med+Proctor site (see below for instructions)
  • Complete the Insurance Wavier (if a domestic student)

Required Forms

Colgate University uses Med+Proctor to verify your medical forms and immunization requirements. You must download and submit all required medical forms through this platform.

Colgate University requires the submission of the following:

  • Colgate-specific Medical History form found on Med+Proctor site
  • Immunization Certificate form or official vaccine records, blue cards, yellow cards, and state immunization records are accepted.
    • (Required: Two doses of MMR, one dose of Meningitis ACWY within last 5 yrs, Two doses of Varicella, and a Tdap within ten years).
  • NYS Meningitis Response form found on Med+Proctor site
  • TB Screening Questionnaire (done within your MedProctor registration)
    • Submission of TB testing (if required) based on your answers to the TB Screening Questionnaire

 

This service is free, but an optional one-time fee comes with lifetime access to your records if you choose. If you are not interested in lifetime access, look for the option to decline.

Med+Proctor Instructions

All incoming students are required to use Med+Proctor to submit medical/immunization records. Submitting this information is easy. We will provide a login link as soon as the Med+Proctor system is available for use.

 

 

Visit Med+Proctor and type in your school email address to get started and complete the TB screening questionnaire. (The link will be available soon.)

Download the required, typable forms. Type your answers within the forms, and save with changes, as a PDF.

Log back into your Med+Proctor account and upload a PDF of your forms. Make sure they are complete. You will receive an email from Med+Proctor if you lack any required documentation.

  • If you have not submitted your paperwork to Med+Proctor, please register with them and submit the required forms using the instructions above.
  • Only the immunization form requires a healthcare provider's signature. A copy of a printed immunization record from an electronic health record or an official immunization booklet is also acceptable and does not require a healthcare provider's signature.
  • If Med+Proctor has notified you that you require a vaccine or TB test you cannot access at home, please contact Student Health Services directly through your medical portal or studenthealth@colgate.edu.
  • If you have submitted your paperwork to Med+Proctor, please check your email for messages from them or log into your Med+Proctor account to identify what is missing from your submission.
  • If your account states "Verified," you have submitted all the required paperwork and comply with the required immunizations. Please allow us at least three business days to process your paperwork and update your checklist.

 

If you have questions, you can live chat with Med+Proctor during regular business hours.

Medical or Religious Exemptions
