HEALTH REQUIREMENTS AND INFORMATION The Bentley University Health Center and the state of Massachusetts requires full-time students (12 or more credits) to complete health requirements on our secure Student Health portal bentley.medicatconnect.com no later than June 21, 2021, for fall enrollment. The information is confidential. The health portal becomes available in May. You will not be allowed to move into housing or begin classes until you have submitted the required information.You will also be charged a $50 nonrefundable fee if you remain non-compliant after 30 days of start of semester. As we prepare for a fully open and operational 2021– 2022 academic year, consistent with state and federal guidance, all undergraduate and graduate students who will be on campus this fall will be required to be vaccinated against COVID-19 before the start of the fall 2021 semester. The deadline for uploading documentation is August 1, 2021; note the timeline is different from the routine immunizations to afford students time to be fully vaccinated prior to arrival on campus. Information MUST be submitted through the Student Health Portal. Please do not email, fax or mail documents. Make sure any documents you upload to the health portal are official. They should have at a minimum: your name, date of birth, a medical provider name/signature, the vaccine name and dose, and the date it was administered.
