Health Requirements for New Graduate Students

Your first interaction with Student Health Services will be the health requirements that you must meet as an incoming student, which will begin our partnership in caring for your health while you are at Brown.

The deadline for submission is July 1 for first year and transfer students (January 2nd for mid year transfers).

If you haven't done so already, activate your Brown account. You will need your Banner identification number in order to activate your electronic services. This number was assigned to you when you applied for admission to Brown. If you need additional assistance, please contact the Computing Accounts and Passwords Office at 401-863-4357.

For continuity of care, we request that students forward their past medical records for any chronic, ongoing or serious medical condition. If you have a copy you can upload to the Brown Student Health Services Patient Portal. If you are unable to upload, fax the forms to 401-863-3321 or mail to: 

Brown University Student Health Services
Box 1928
Providence, RI 02912

If you have any questions about the health requirements, please refer to Frequently Asked Questions before contacting us.

A checklist is provided for your convenience.

Steps 1-3 are required for all students:

In order to attend Brown University, all students must comply with the State of Rhode Island immunization requirements. If you are missing any of the required immunizations, you will be contacted by Nursing@health.brown.edu.

If you attended Brown in the past, login to the patient portal and click on immunization history to verify that you have all required vaccines. If not, please obtain the missing vaccine(s) and upload the documentation.

  • Print the Brown Immunization Record form and have it completed by your medical provider. We will also accept official immunization records from your provider, previous school, or health department.
