Complete Immunization Verification Form

Duquesne University Health Services maintains immunization compliance through an electronic health record system that features an interactive patient portal accessed through the Duquesne App. Students are required to print the Duquesne University Immunization Verification Form and have it completed by a licensed medical provider, then electronically submit it via the Health Services Student Portal.

International Student Only

The Health Services office collaborates with the Center for Global Engagement to collect, store, and monitor health requirements for all students. Health Services is a valuable student resource for medical services and health information.

The Annual Tuberculosis Questionnaire form is required to be completed each year. This form must be completed annually and then uploaded to the Health Services Student Portal. A Health Services staff member will contact the student for any additional information or if tuberculosis infection testing is required after the form is reviewed. 

NOTE: ANY medical records brought from your country MUST be translated into English.

 **If Tuberculosis infection testing is indicated, it has to be done after July 1st for the Fall Semester or within 6 weeks of arrival into the United States.  If you choose to be tested in the United States upon arrival, the only accepted tuberculosis screening test is the Quantiferon Gold (Q-Gold) blood test.

Failure to comply with Health Services will affect your immigration status. Students who do not meet with Health Services will have a hold on their registration. Students unable to register will violate their student status since they must be registered each semester to maintain F-1 status.

Students are strongly encouraged to purchase the Duquesne University Student Health Insurance which is offered by the UPMC Health Plan. Students who wish to waive the student insurance plan must have a policy that is compliant with the University's standard and have coverage in the Greater Pittsburgh Area. Please call Gallagher Insurance for any questions regarding plans or visit the Gallagher Insurance. 

Pre-clinical Health Requirements

Students admitted to the Schools of Nursing, Pharmacy and Rangos School of Health Sciences will participate in experiential learning as part of their curriculum. Each of these schools has established policies with regard to additional clinical requirements and legal clearances.

 Duquesne University Immunization Verification Form

Step 1: Take the Duquesne University Immunization Verification Form to your healthcare provider for completion.

The form must contain the required immunization information as well as the provider's signature, title, date, address, and organization stamp.

Forms submitted with missing required information or which otherwise demonstrate non-adherence to immunization requirement specifications will be deemed non-compliant.

Recommended immunization dates should also be provided as requested. A physical examination is not required for admission to Duquesne University.

Step 2: With your unique university issued credentials (student Duquesne Portal user name) and multipass password (that you have created):

  • Log into Duquesne Portal - then the Health Service Student Portal - then upload an image of the completed Immunization Verification Form (in English)
  • Select the Immunization Upload option from either "Upload" area in the portal. Acceptable image file types are: png, jpg, jpeg, and gif. Pdf files are not acceptable due to security reasons. Keep the original document in your home records.
