Health Record
Health Center

Incoming full-time students:

A Health Record (click here for the form) is a requirement for admission to Defiance College for full-time students. The medical form is sent with the student's acceptance letter. It is the policy of Defiance College to have in our medical files documented proof of immunization and a personal health history on each incoming student. This is for your protection as well as the other students and the community. It is important to the Health Center to provide you with the best medical care possible while you are a student at Defiance College.

The Medical History section is required to be completed by all full-time students and must be current. The Physical Examination section is required to be completed by your family physician, along with immunization dates, allergies, and daily medication listed, if any is taken. A copy of a previous physical will be satisfactory only if you have received a physical within the past year. In this case, the student will not need to complete another physical as recommended unless you have a physical condition that would warrant a yearly physical.

If you are a student-athlete coming to campus to play sports, DC professionals will complete an Athletic Physical once on campus. This is in addition to the Medical Form.

The easiest method of obtaining your immunization record is from your high school, your medical records, or your County Health Department. If possible, obtain a copy and attach it to the form. If your health record and/or immunization record is not complete or up-to-date by registration, we will require that you receive the needed immunizations.

The Medical Form will be filed in the College's Health Center located on the second floor in the Serrick Campus Center. The Athletic Physical Form will be kept on file in the athletic office located in the McMaster Center.

Health insurance is mandatory. The student may stay on their parents' plan or take out the college insurance. The college medical insurance may also be purchased as a secondary insurance for the student during Orientation and Registration.
