Student Health Services

All students attending Webster University in Missouri:

• Tuberculosis Screening Questionnaire (required by state law)
• Additional TB testing if indicated

We will follow up with you via email if additional testing is required.  

All resident students at the Webster Groves campus (residing in East Hall, West Hall, Maria Hall, Webster Village Apartments or Big Bend) are additionally required to provide proof of the following vaccinations: 

• MMR vaccination: There are two required doses of the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccination. 
• Meningitis vaccination: This vaccine goes by several names, including Menactra, Menveo, MCV4 and MPSV4. It must be given at age 16 or later and protects against meningitis A, C, Y and W-135. If given before age 16, a booster is required.

Submit Your Health Form

Screening and immunization documents must be electronically submitted through the Webster University Student Health Form for review. Faxes and email will not be accepted. All documents must be translated and submitted in English. Webster staff will notify students by email if documents are incomplete or further information is required.

In the form you will be asked to answer some questions and submit a photo of your vaccine records, clearly showing the vaccine(s) and date(s) received. This can be an electronic document you upload or a clear picture of a printout.

Failure to submit the required health documents prior to moving into housing will jeopardize your housing placement and an administrative “hold” will be placed on your student account. An administrative hold will restrict you from making changes to your current and future course schedules.
