Oregon State Law requires all students born after Dec. 31, 1956 to provide proof of immunity to rubeola (measles), rubella (German measles), and mumps prior to registration for classes. Dates of complete immunization may be submitted by way of the BeWell Patient Portal. If you are unable to access the online forms, you may also print the Health History Form (PDF) or International Health History Form (PDF) and submit the information by fax or mail. If you have not been immunized but are immune based on blood tests or having had the diseases, you must submit official documentation from your medical provider (personal physician, pediatrician or county health department) that you had the respective disease(s) or blood test results.
The immunization requirements are slightly different for domestic students and international students. Please see the appropriate Web page:
Submitting Health History Form and Immunization Records
Please visit the Patient Portal to complete your Health History Form online.
To login to the Patient Portal:

- You will be able to choose a new password after completing your first visit to the website.
(NOTE: a PDF of the Health History Form is available for download, to fax or mail in, as well.)

If you need to request records from a doctor or school, feel free to use this Authorization Form (PDF) to do so. You may complete this form and submit it directly to your health care provider, which will give them permission to send the information to Student Health Services directly.
If you are unable to provide proof of immunity to any or all of these diseases, you will be required to have either a blood test to measure your immunity (called a titer), and/or have the immunizations. Student Health Services can perform blood titers and administer the immunizations. Since titers can be very expensive and they may demonstrate your need to be immunized anyway, it is recommended that you simply take the immunizations. It is safe to have the immunizations even if you are already immune.
A hold will be placed on the registration process of non-compliant students attempting to register for their second term at OSU.
About Exemptions
Immunization requirements may be waived for students who have certain medical conditions or for religious reasons. Qualifying medical conditions may include pregnancy or breast feeding, diseases which lower resistance to infection, or present use of medications which lower resistance to infection. Religious exemptions include having a system of belief, practices or ethical values which prohibit the use of immunizations. Please be aware that waived students may be removed from classes if an outbreak of the disease occurs. All students requesting immunization exemption are required to come to Student Health Services in person within two weeks of their first registered term in order to sign a waiver form and receive verbal and written information about the waiver. To learn more about waivers, call the Immunization Helpline at 541-737-7573 between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m, Monday-Friday.
For additional questions about immunization requirements, contact the Immunization Coordinator by phone (541-737-7573) or e-mail immunizations@oregonstate.edu.
