Immunizations and Health on Campus

Getting your immunizations is an important party of staying healthy at UMD. On campus, you’ll be in contact with thousands of other students every day, and getting immunized against diseases like meningitis can be a life-saver.

UMD requires that students be vaccinated against certain diseases. Each student must complete and submit an immunization record to the University Health Center (UHC). The immunization record documents each vaccination you have received and when it was given. The immunization record can be found here.

Immunization records were due on the date of your orientation, but you must submit your immunization record to the UHC before the first day of classes to avoid paying a late fee.

If you require immunizations for your immunization record, or if you are traveling internationally and aren’t sure what immunizations you might need, you can visit the UHC’s immunization and travel clinics.

Immunization Clinic:

Immunizations are not free but can be charged to your student account

  • For appointments, visit MyUHC or call (301) 314-8184.
  • For questions, call (301) 314-8114 or email UHC-imm@umd.edu

Travel Clinic:

The UHC International Travel Clinic sees many faculty, staff and students who are traveling around the world, either as part of their research and study programs, or just backpacking for enjoyment. Ideally students visit the travel clinic 4-6 weeks before their travel date but students can make an appointment as soon as they know their destination. The Travel Clinic can offer suggestions for immunizations, up-to-date information about political situations, advice for how to manage food and water, and more. The cost to you will depend on what services and immunizations are rendered.
