Immunization Requirements for the 2023-2024 Academic Year

The University will no longer be requiring the COVID-19 and flu immunizations for all students.

The University of Pennsylvania requires all students to be compliant with these requirements. Failure to meet these requirements will result in denial of student registration privileges. All students must submit their immunization information into their secure Wellness Portal.

Step 1: Complete the first 3 online forms.

Go to your Wellness Portal.
Log-in with your PennKey, password, and birthdate.
Click on FORMS and choose "Immunizations Page."
Enter your past immunization information into the electronic form, using your immunization form as a guide.
