Who must complete the Student Medical Report Form and/or the Varsity Student Athlete Physical Examination Form?
All incoming students must complete the Student Medical Report Form, regardless of age or insurance status. This includes undergraduate students, graduate students, transfer students, remote students, and readmitted students, including military personnel, regardless of age. It also includes special students, visiting students, and exchange students.
The Varsity Student Athlete Physical Examination Form is only required by students who will be playing varsity sports.
I received my undergraduate degree from MIT; now I’m returning as a graduate student. Since I submitted the Medical Report Form when I entered MIT as a first-year undergraduate, do I need to submit the form again?
Yes. We need to make sure you are still up to date on necessary vaccines and tests. In addition, it’s possible that prematriculation requirements have changed since you submitted the form last time. For example, the Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis) vaccine is a relatively new requirement. Previously, we required only the Td (tetanus, diphtheria) vaccine.
But it might be easier to get your hands on your immunization record this time around. Since you were an MIT undergraduate, it’s part of the medical record we have for you. You can request it, and any other medical records you might need, from our Medical Records Service.
I have waived the MIT Student Health Insurance Plan (MIT SHIP). Do I still have to complete the Student Medical Report Form?
Yes. All entering students must complete the Student Medical Report Form, no matter which health insurance they have.
What if my medical records are not in English?
You must have the information on the Student Medical Report Form and all the required documents translated into English.
