Health Record Requirements

May 2025

Welcome to the Rivier University family! We are thrilled that your student will be joining us and beginning an exciting new chapter in their academic journey. As we prepare for their arrival on campus, we want to make sure they are ready—and that includes completing their Health Record Requirements.

Introduction

To ensure your student is cleared to start classes and participate in campus life, it’s essential that they complete all required health forms before arriving on campus. Please help your student schedule an appointment with their primary care provider as soon as possible to complete the following: 

• Physical Exam – Must be dated within one year of the start of classes
• Immunization Verification Form – Signed and dated by your student’s healthcare provider 

All forms and documentation must be uploaded through the Student Medicat Portal—no health information will be accepted via email or fax. 

Accessing the Medicat Portal

Starting June 1, 2025, your student can access the Medicat Student Portal by visiting www.rivier.edu. Use the Quick Links dropdown menu and select Campus Groups to get started.
