Campus Health Services is here to help. Your semester health fee gets you unlimited visits to CHS for primary care services, plus reduced charges for lab, radiology, medication, and specialty services. We also offer Counseling and Wellness services. For more information, go to campushealth.unc.edu.

Make sure to get those shots. All enrolling students need to submit a completed Immunization and Health History Form, signed by a local health care provider to verify all immunizations, by June 15. Seriously. If it’s not done, and Campus Health Services doesn’t get that form, your registration gets withdrawn 30 days after classes start. This has happened to people. They weren’t happy about it. Here’s how to have that not happen to you: 1. Go to connectcarolina.unc.edu, click the “More Student Links” button at the top of the page, and click the link for “Immunization and Health History” form.

2. Log into the site with your ONYEN and ONYEN password. For more about your ONYEN, see the tear-off card at the end of this brochure.

3. Finish each page until you get to Immunization History, and enter all the appropriate dates.

4. Click “Get PDF of Immunization Record,” then print the PDF. 5. Get it signed or stamped and dated by a local health care provider to verify all immunizations.

6. Mail it to this address before June 15. Campus Health Services Campus Box 7470 ATTN: Health Information Mgmt. Dept. Chapel Hill, NC 27599-7470

NOTE: If you’re an International student or are traveling abroad for more than two months, you’ll also need to undergo a Tuberculin Skin Test (TST) before you come. Documentation of the TST is acceptable only from a U.S. facility. Please visit campushealth.unc.edu for a list of countries which are required to submit TST documentation.

Note about health insurance All Carolina students are required to have health insurance. You can enroll in the UNC System Wide Health Insurance Plan and have the premium automatically charged to your account, or you can waive and purchase another plan somewhere else. Either way, you’ll need to show proof of insurance each semester. And you should check with your insurance carrier to find out if you have out-of-network benefits for services at Campus Health Services. In addition to the Student Health Insurance Plan, CHS is a network provider for all North Carolina and out-of-state Blue Cross plans.
