The Colonial Health Center is excited to welcome all incoming students to GW this Fall! In preparation for your arrival, please make sure to complete the following items before the start of the Fall 2019 semester.
Immunization Records
In continuation of last year, all immunization forms are submitted online through the student portal. The District of Columbia Immunization Law requires that all students born after August 1, 1993 (students under 26 years of age at the time of admission) for Fall 2019 admits provide proof of certain immunizations prior to registration.
Newly-admitted undergraduate, graduate, non-degree, or transfer students at the George Washington University (GW) who fit the above criteria are required to provide proof of immunization or they will incur a registration hold on their student account.

The Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) is a comprehensive plan offered through Aetna Student Health. In alignment with the Affordable Care Act, SHIP guarantees that you can obtain necessary treatment if you develop a serious illness or injury. It also guarantees that you can obtain preventative medical services like immunizations and physical exams. All undergraduate students will be automatically enrolled in SHIP. It is estimated that all undergraduate students will be charged $2,690 to their accounts for the 2019-2020 academic year.
CLICK HERE to waive SHIP. Those interested in the waiver must have proof of insurance and be registered for classes for the Fall 2019 semester.
The waiver period for SHIP begins August 1, 2019 - September 30, 2019. For questions about SHIP, email [email protected].
