2. Review your health insurance
All undergraduate and graduate students (including international students) must be covered by a health insurance plan. Students are responsible for obtaining and maintaining their health insurance. Check that Columbia County Health is included in your in-network coverage or consider another health insurance plan. View insurance resources >
3. Consider a physical exam (optional)
A complete physical is recommended for new students. This examination can be performed by your regular physician.
4. Vaccines(optional)
In the spirit of caring for the wellness of our entire community, we recommend that individuals receive MMR and meningococcal vaccines. MMR vaccines protect against measles, mumps, and rubella, and is recommended by the CDC for students at post-high school educational institutions who do not have presumptive immunization. Meningococcal disease requires close contact to spread so is a concern on college campuses, especially for students living in residence halls. Ask your doctor which vaccines you need. NOTE: Some WWU programs (such as nursing and education) may have specific requirements related to their work with external orginizations.
