Health Forms

Welcome to Muhlenberg College!

The College requires all new incoming students (first-year and transfer) to complete essential health forms. Please complete the steps below by July 1 (for fall enrollment) or January 5 (for spring enrollment).

Step One: Read the following information

Information about Meningococcal Disease, Vaccination, and Waiver Form

The College and University Student Vaccination Act of 2002 in Pennsylvania prohibits a student from residing in college housing unless the student has received a one-time vaccination against meningococcal disease, or the institution provides detailed information on the risks associated with meningococcal disease and the availability and the effectiveness of any vaccine. The student must also sign a written waiver stating that the student has received and reviewed the information provided and has chosen not to be vaccinated for medical, religious, or philosophical reasons.

The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends that first-year college students living in residence halls should receive at least 1 dose of meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MCV4) before college entry. The preferred timing of the most recent dose is on or after their sixteenth birthday.

In accordance with the College and University Student Vaccination Act and ACIP, all students who will be living in college housing must submit proof of one dose of meningococcal conjugate vaccine that covers serogroups A, C, Y, and W since age sixteen. Students may request an exemption from this requirement if there is a medical contraindication to vaccination or if religious or philosophical beliefs prohibit immunization. The Meningococcal B vaccine (serogroup B) is a separate vaccine and is strongly recommended, although not mandatory at this time.

• Before leaving your healthcare provider's office, ensure that all sections of the required record are completed, signed, and dated where indicated.
• Use the opportunity of visiting your healthcare provider to discuss any health conditions you may have and how you can be prepared to manage these conditions while you are at school.

As a single file, upload Health Form, Physical Exam, Immunization Record, Authorization for LVPG to Release Protected Health Information, Consent for Treatment, Medical Consent Authorization for Minor (if student is < 18 years of age), Medical Information Communication Preference, copy of Insurance Card (front and back) here.

To ensure a quick registration process, we encourage all students to have a “MyLVHN” chart. Please follow the steps below to update or create your MyLVHN chart.

Students who already have a MyLVHN chart because they have accessed medical care previously by an LVHN provider do not need to create a new MyLVHN chart. If you have a MyChart account, login and proceed. If you do not have a MyChart account, create an account (Click “New user? Sign up now”)
