GVSU VACCINE REPORTING
8/25/2023: Please Note: Med+ Proctor, in error and without approval from GVSU, sent emails to GVSU faculty, staff, and students indicating that all incoming and new students are required to complete and submit vaccine records to comply with admission requirements. This was an error. GVSU's vaccine policy encourages submission of vaccine information (not records). For students in health professions or who are interning with health providers, see below, or contact Health Compliance with questions.
VACCINE COMPLIANCE
All incoming first-year and new undergraduate transfer students are asked to complete a vaccination survey to report their vaccination status for a variety of common vaccine preventable diseases. Please note: Students will not be required to provide proof of vaccination, but they are asked to inform GVSU of their vaccination status via a survey. Students are also able to upload their vaccination records in the system.
Grand Valley State University has partnered with Med+Proctor to collect and review immunization information for our students.
Grand Valley is not currently requiring any vaccines, although, you may need to show proof of vaccines if you are enrolled in a health/health-related program that requires health compliance OR if you will engage in a course, internship, practicum, co-op, or similar learning experience that will require you to be on-site or interact with staff from a health-care organization i.e. hospital, clinic, hospice, skilled nursing, community mental health, etc. For additional questions please contact the Health Compliance Office or email [email protected].
HOW TO COMPLY
1. Log in to Med+Proctor using your GVSU Network ID and password to submit your vaccine information using the survey form provided in M+P.
- With a standard Med+Proctor account (free), you do not retain access to your uploaded immunization documentation.
- With a Med+Proctor Pro account ($10), you receive lifetime access to your uploaded immunization documentation. The $10 fee is for students who desire to use Med+ Proctor's enhanced service. If you don't want the enhanced service, be sure to click on "To continue without paying." It is written in smaller type under the $10 fee info. Click on that to continue without paying. There is also another optional fee for expediting documents. At this time, this is NOT recommended.
- For any other questions or problems using the service, Med+Proctor has an online chat to help.
- The information you provide is confidential and will only be used in association with GVSU vaccination requirements. As a cloud-hosted program, Med+Proctor does not have access to individual data, as detailed in the Med+Proctor privacy policy .
2. Complete required personal information, download the immunization certificate, and follow the directions provided.
3. Once the immunization forms are received, you will receive an email confirmation saying the forms have been accepted. Please note: this means the information was uploaded properly.
WHAT'S NEXT?
- For individuals who report complete on all vaccines that satisfy requirements, your status will be changed to vaccinated.
- Students with incompletes on specified vaccines or choose not to answer, will be considered “unvaccinated” and considered at risk for common communicable diseases.
- Students who fail to comply by the first billing cycle will be considered unvaccinated.
GETTING YOUR IMMUNIZATION RECORDS
There are a few options on how to get your immunization documentation:
- Contact your physician's office
