Student Immunization Verification

Completing Immunization Verification in the Patient Portal

The University of California’s immunization requirements are in place to protect the health and well-being of all students and are implemented at UC Riverside to ensure campus-wide health and safety.

Patient Portal Clearance

To meet UC immunization requirements and not experience a HOLD on registration:

Log into your Student Health Services Patient Portal

Answer the TB screening questions: If you are prompted to have further TB testing or screening it must be completed to meet compliance, there are NO exemptions for this.

**If you have had a positive TB test result in the past, please download the UCR TB packet found in download/upload forms on the left menu in this portal to have your medical provider complete. (Not needed if being seen at UCR Student Health Center).

By Vaccination:

Enter the immunization dates for ALL immunization items required for clearance.
1. Read the age requirements in each vaccine box very carefully.
2. DO NOT enter dates that DO NOT meet the AGE requirement for each vaccine. You will NOT be able to update the date later and you will remain non-compliant.
3. If you do not have a vaccine that meets age requirements, leave it blank until you get the vaccine that meets the age requirement.
4. Once you enter a vaccine that meets the requirement it will clear you immediately for that item. If it still says “non-compliant” check that you entered it correctly and that it was given at the correct time as you may need a booster.
Upload a copy of your immunization record that matches your dates entered for all of the vaccines (Required). There is no hold associated with the Immunization Record line item and it may continue to say non-compliant.

Please note: It is not sufficient to upload your immunization record only. Failure to enter immunization dates will result in non-compliance with medical clearance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to Get Vaccinations
- Most states have an immunization registry where you can create an account and access your records.
- Generally, when requesting a copy of your high school transcripts they most often come with a copy of your immunizations that were required for school.
- UC SHIP (student medical insurance) enrolled students can get required vaccinations with zero out of pocket costs through UCR Student Health Services by setting an appointment through the Student Health Portal.

- A registration health hold will be placed in R’Web for any required medical clearance that is non-compliant after first attendance date.
