Welcome to Columbia University Irving Medical Center (CUIMC)! Our team at Student Health on Haven looks forward to supporting your health and well-being as you navigate this new chapter.
Before you can register for classes, you must complete all pre-registration health requirements in addition to the requirements outlined in the admission letter for your specific program. The information below outlines the pre-registration process students must complete in order to register for classes.
You must submit your pre-registration requirements and documentation via our secure Student Health Portal. If you are unable to to submit your documentation through the portal, you may send your documentation to shsregistration@cumc.columbia.edu.
Please read through the pre-registration requirements for your respective program (see below) and leave yourself enough time (approximately two months prior to your deadline date) to work with your clinician to complete all of the requirements before your registration deadline.
If you have any questions about your requirements, email us at shsregistration@cumc.columbia.edu.
After you have been assigned a Columbia UNI, you may register for our Student Health Portal with an active email address. If your Columbia email address is not yet active, please use an alternate email address.
Log into our Student Health Portal using your Columbia UNI.
Once logged in, navigate to “Medical Clearances” and complete the following sections:
Fill out your information at the top portion of the appropriate pre-registration immunization form and physical exam form (clinical students only) have a medical provider complete the rest of the form.
