titleStep 2: Determine if you need to complete and return the USF Health Form from Student Health Services (optional depending on schedule)

The USF Health Form is required ONLY if you plan on taking on-campus courses. If you intend on completing Foundations of Knowledge and Learning (FKL), Foreign Language, or State Mandated Nursing requirements on-campus, then you will be prompted to submit the form.

If you do not submit the form, an immunization hold will always appear on your account. The hold should never prevent registration into online courses. If you start as an online student and later need to take on-campus courses, you will be prompted to submit the Form. 

If you plan to take on-campus classes, the form must be completed by a licensed ARNP or physician. Office stamps and/or additional attached documentation will not be accepted in lieu of a provider’s signature and license number. Immunization records, along with your signed USF Medical History Form, can be scanned and submitted electronically on the Student Health Services website - http://www.shs.usf.edu/
