BEFORE YOU ARRIVE

All individuals who are new to Stanford—frosh, undergraduate transfers, graduate students, and others—must meet certain Health Requirements before joining the campus community. These requirements are in place to ensure that students have the proper vaccinations to help prevent the spread of disease and are protected in case of an outbreak on campus.

If you are a new student, regardless of quarter of entry, you have a number of steps to take to comply with the Health Requirements before your arrival on campus. Please read this next section carefully and pay special attention to the ‘ACTION ITEMS’ you need to complete along with the deadline that corresponds to your quarter of entry to the university.

If you are a returning student, most likely you have already complied with the Health Requirements that were in place when you entered the university. (If not, you will need to take steps to complete them now.) However, because requirements may change over time, you should also review this section to ensure you are fully compliant with the current required and recommended immunizations. If you don’t remember what immunizations you have had, you can review your health record on the VadenPatient portal found at vadenpatient.stanford.edu.
