F-1 and J-1 students only:
Incoming students must submit the following medical forms directly to the NJIT Health Services Patient Portal:
- Meningococcal Screening Form
- Tuberculosis Screening Form
Click here to download the forms.
Do not send these forms or other health information to OGI. This information must be submitted directly to the NJIT Health Services Patient Portal.
New Jersey State law mandates that Health and Immunization forms be submitted before you can register for classes. If you have any questions, please contact Health Services at +1 (973) 596-3621, or via email at healthservices@njit.edu. The Meningitis vaccine is required for all undergraduate, graduate, and transfer students who are 18 years of age or younger and those who are 19 years of age or older who will live in university housing. If you plan to live on campus, you will not be allowed to move into, or have access to, on-campus housing if you have not submitted proof of all pre-entrance health requirements including the meningitis vaccine. All documents must be submitted to the NJIT Health Services Patient Portal. Exceptions are given to students who are actively receiving vaccines that require spacing between doses, or those approved for a medical or religious exemption by NJIT Health Services.
You are advised to have the required forms completed by your physician before you depart your home country, since the cost of immunizations in the U.S. can be expensive.
NJIT’s offer of admission is contingent upon satisfactory completion of any academic work in progress before you start your program here. It is your responsibility to ensure that your final official transcripts are forwarded to the Office of Admission as soon as your courses are completed.
Transfer students are required to submit a course-by-course WES evaluation for all academic work completed outside the U.S. Without the transcript evaluation students will not be allowed to register for classes.
