Prescriptions
Prescriptions issued by SHS can be filled at any local pharmacy at the student's expense. Students may contact their insurance
companies to see if and where prescriptive privileges exist. Students & parents are encouraged to speak with their insurance
companies prior to illness so they know where to go should the need arise.
Insurance
Students are urged to carry health insurance coverage although insurance coverage is not mandatory. SHS does not endorse or
sponsor a specific program but does maintain literature on a variety of insurance programs. Students interested in coverage may
contact SHS.
Requirements
Prior to treatment in Student Health Services, each student is required
to complete a health history questionnaire. Students, regardless of age,
are required to provide verification of up-to-date immunizations.
Physical examinations are not required for admission to the University.
Confidentiality
All information received by SHS regarding a client's health is strictly confidential. Access to medical records is limited
to authorized SHS personnel. Faculty and administration do not have access to medical records and will not be able to verify
a student's visits to SHS without the student's permission. If the student is 18 years of age or older, the University cannot
release information to his/her parents without the student's prior knowledge. Medical information is released only with the
student's written consent or upon court-ordered subpoena.
Immunizations
Student Health Services requires all students, living on and off campus, to have:
- Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR)
- The MMR vaccine must have been given after the first birthday and a second shot must have been given after 1980.
- PPD (test for tuberculosis) within the last year.
- Maryland law requires that all students, graduate and undergraduate, enrolled at the University and who reside in on
campus housing have:
- Meningococcal vaccine or a signed waiver on file in SHS
Recommendations:
Hepatitis B vaccination is strongly recommended
HPV vaccine -Gardisil (for women) is strongly recommended
Health History Questionnaire
We don't require that students have physicals but we do require a Health History Questionnaire be filled out by every
student prior to being seen in Student Health Services (SHS). You can obtain this form by calling 410-543-6262 or

Medical Excuses / Sick Notes
SHS does not routinely provide medical excuses for absences from class. In instances where students experience serious
illness/injury or on-going health problems, absence notifications will be coordinated through the
Vice President for Student Affairs office.
