- Submit all completed health forms online between Friday, May 3 and Friday, July 5. (Summer & Fall 2024 classes.)

- Fall Students complete this process between July 20 and September 15 AND you will get an email when the site is ready.

- The University of Notre Dame no longer requires undergraduate, graduate, and professional students to receive the COVID‑19 vaccine as a condition for enrollment. Consistent with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the University continues to strongly encourage all members of the campus community to receive the primary vaccination series and the most updated booster dose.
