Health Forms
Before you embark on this exciting new chapter at NU, we want to make sure you’re all set for a healthy and successful start on campus.
All students are required to complete the health forms.
Please submit your medical forms, insurance verification, and required immunizations (per New York State Public Health Law Sections 2165 and 2167) to Health Services at least 30 days before classes begin. This is in addition to submitting your proof of insurance to Haylor when waiving out of the University’s Health Insurance plan.
If you’re unable to meet this deadline, contact Health Services at 716.286.8390 — we’re happy to help. All forms must be received no later than the first day of classes.
Please note: If your health forms aren’t submitted on time, a hold will be placed on your student account, and you could risk being deregistered from classes.
Transfer Students:
Your previous school only sends transcripts — you’ll still need to submit your own health records and other required document.
Health Insurance
Niagara University requires ALL full-time undergraduate students to retain health insurance, including athletes, international, and Canadian students.
