Documentation of immunizations should be uploaded to Medicat, UNE\u2019s patient portal, at <a href=\"https:\/\/une.medicatconnect.com\/\">https:\/\/une.medicatconnect.com\/<\/a>. Students should make sure that their name and date of birth are on each page of the immunization record.

Please make sure your student has their health insurance information, a picture of the front and back of the card on their phone is fine.&nbsp; If a parent\/guardian is the subscriber of the insurance, we will also need that parent\/guardian\u2019s name, date of birth, and address to submit claims to the insurance company properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"171\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/studentaffairs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/58\/2024\/06\/BC-Student-Health-Center-7656-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-171\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/studentaffairs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/58\/2024\/06\/BC-Student-Health-Center-7656-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/studentaffairs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/58\/2024\/06\/BC-Student-Health-Center-7656-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/studentaffairs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/58\/2024\/06\/BC-Student-Health-Center-7656-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/studentaffairs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/58\/2024\/06\/BC-Student-Health-Center-7656-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/studentaffairs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/58\/2024\/06\/BC-Student-Health-Center-7656-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Biddeford Campus, BC, Health Center, Petts Center, pandemic, COVID, 2021<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"462\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.une.edu\/studentaffairs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/58\/2025\/07\/PC-Health-Center-7487-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-462\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/studentaffairs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/58\/2025\/07\/PC-Health-Center-7487-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/studentaffairs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/58\/2025\/07\/PC-Health-Center-7487-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/studentaffairs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/58\/2025\/07\/PC-Health-Center-7487-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/studentaffairs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/58\/2025\/07\/PC-Health-Center-7487-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/studentaffairs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/58\/2025\/07\/PC-Health-Center-7487-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Portland Campus, PC, Linnell Hall, Health Center, pandemic, COVID, 2021<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To be considered compliant with immunization requirements, new students must submit a current immunization record to &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":100,"featured_media":240,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[26],"post_folder":[],"class_list":["post-712","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-welcome-fall-2026","tag-wellness"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 -
