Immunization Requirements

Immunizations offer safe and effective protection from vaccine-preventable diseases.  The United States is experiencing re-emergence of these diseases, in part due to factors such as non-immunized and under-immunized persons and global travel.  University Health Services of the Pennsylvania State University strongly supports the use of vaccines to protect the health of our individual students and our campus community.

For additional immunization information and submission requirements, go to the Immunization Compliance​ web page. 

Health Insurance Advocate

The Student Insurance Advocate which is part of University Health Services, a unit of Student Affairs, provides individual student consultation as well as outreach and education to students and student groups around health insurance. The student insurance advocate will assist students in identifying insurance options, including the Penn State Student Health Insurance Plan, Medicaid or Affordable Care Act marketplace plans. This new position also will help qualified students navigate the application processes for these plans. https://studentaffairs.psu.edu/insurance-advocate 

How to contact

The Student Insurance Advocate is stationed in the Student Health Center on the University Park campus but will travel periodically to the Commonwealth Campuses to provide support. Commonwealth Campus students can consult with the Student Insurance Advocate via video chat, email or phone call.  Individual students, families, faculty/staff or student groups can schedule a time to talk with the Student Insurance Advocate by emailing [email protected] or calling 814-865-7467. The Advocate is also available to schedule a face-to-face, or video/zoom appointment.
