Complete Immunization Compliance Requirements

Immunizations

All students at Northwestern must meet state immunization requirements by submitting proof of immunizations through the Northwestern Personal Health Portal (PNC) prior to the Deadline for Immunization Records set by the Immunization Compliance Team at Northwestern University

Failure to meet these requirements may result in a late fee. Visit Immunization Requirements for deadline details and submission instructions. If you have questions concerning the immunization requirements, immunizations, or related issues, please send an email message to: immunizations@northwestern.edu or call Immunization Compliance at 847.491.2117

Health Insurance

All degree-seeking international students on J-1 or F-1 visas must maintain NU-SHIP coverage throughout their studies, as alternative plans often lack necessary benefits and can lead to financial or visa-related issues. We encourage students to review their coverage early and enroll between July 1 and Oct. 1 to ensure uninterrupted access to benefits. For more details, visit the Student Health Insurance website. If you have questions concerning health insurance requirements, you may contact the student health insurance team directly by emailing student.insurance@northwestern.edu
