Welcome New Seahawks!

Support & Services

On behalf of the Abrons Student Health Center, we are so excited that you are UNCW bound. We look forward to serving your healthcare needs during your time at UNCW.

There are a few things that you can take care of before coming to campus that will make your transition to UNCW more successful.

  1. All incoming first-year, transfer, and graduate students are required to show proof of immunizations to attend UNCW.
  2. All students are also required to have health insurance to attend UNCW. This may be insurance that students currently have (family, employer, etc.), insurance they purchase through the school, or a combination of both plans.

Prior to orientation

Prior to orientation, we ask that you:

  1. Log in to your student health portal to complete your immunization and medical history forms.
  2. Complete the online insurance waiver or enrollment process.

*** For more information, please refer to your welcome letter you received in your UNCW email.

We look forward to meeting you during orientation and to being your doctor’s office away from home while you are at UNCW. 

Medical History Form & Immunization Record

Students should complete and sign the entire Medical History Form and Immunization Record located in the student health portal. If a student is under the age of 18, a parent or guardian must sign the form as well.

Note that not all your records may be in one place or from one source. Be sure to review what you are submitting to make sure all requirements are met. You may review North Carolina’s immunization requirements on the Immunization Branch’s website.

Required Immunizations found on DHHS website

This is a table list for required immunizations found on DHHS website.
