First year students are required to have a physical exam upon entrance into the University. We understand that some students may have had a physical exam within the year and insurance companies will not pay for a second exam. If this is the case, please have your health care provider complete the Physical Assessment form with the date and information from your recent exam. If you do not have a current physical or physical appointment scheduled before the July 1st due date, late submissions will be accepted. Students intending to play a sport should contact their coach for specific physical date requirements. - Immunization Record (Required)

A health record is created when Health Services receives a student's Physical Assessment, Immunization Record and Health History Form, or upon his/her first visit to Health Services. For students who live with chronic illnesses, it may be helpful to submit additional health information to be made part of their medical record to assist with continuity of care.
Student Health Insurance
The University of New Hampshire requires all full-time degree students to have adequate health insurance as a condition of enrollment. Proof of insurance is required at the beginning of every academic year. Students have the option of waiving the requirement if proof of adequate insurance through another plan is provided; or alternatively they can acquire affordable health coverage under a plan sponsored by the University and administered by Health Plans, Inc., a subsidiary of Harvard Pilgrim Health Care.
As part of this requirement, all full-time degree students must take some action - by either enrolling in the UNH Student Health Benefits Plan (SHBP), or requesting a waiver by September 18, 2009. Students may learn more about the SHBP or fill out an online waiver at www.unh.edu/shbp.
