Dear Student,
On behalf of the Emory University Student Health Services team, I extend a warm welcome to you from Emory. One of the many responsibilities that we take very seriously is keeping our students safe and healthy. Two ways that Student Health does this are:
1) ensuring that all students are appropriately immunized, and 2) seeing that each student has proper health insurance coverage.
IMMUNIZATIONS
All undergraduate students must
submit their complete vaccination documentation to the
Student Health Portal by
July 1, 2022. Students who do not meet this deadline will be subject to compliance measures, which may include but are not limited to onboarding delays, inability to register for classes, or having their course registrations cancelled.
For details on immunization requirements, please visit:

HEALTH INSURANCE
Every student must
confirm their
health insurance coverage each year
. You will be automatically enrolled in the Emory University Student Health Insurance Plan (EUSHIP) unless you
request and receive an insurance waiver. The waiver requires you to confirm that you have alternative health insurance coverage that meets Emory’s requirements.
The deadline to
request and receive a waiver
is September 1, 2022.
Students who do not receive a waiver by that deadline will be automatically enrolled in and billed for the Emory University Student Health Insurance Plan.
For more information on the health insurance waiver or EUSHIP coverage, please visit
studentinsurance.emory.edu.
As an Emory student, you have an account on the
Student Health Services (SHS) Patient Portal, located at
https://www.shspnc.emory.edu. This portal is your secure communication point with Student Health Services, where you can upload mandatory immunization and insurance documents, check your compliance status, and more. Access the SHS Portal by logging in with your Emory network ID and password.
Thank you for your attention to these important public health matters and for supporting our mission to keep our campus community safe. We look forward to serving you when you arrive on campus!
In health,
Sharon Rabinovitz, MD
Executive Director
