Berea College requires that specific medical information be on file for each incoming student prior to his or her arrival
on campus. Please know that all information submitted will go to both Berea College and White House Clinics.
These requirements include the following:
• Completed Health History Form
• Tuberculosis Screening Form
• Documentation of Required Immunizations
• Copy of Insurance Card (if covered)
Enclosed please find the health history and tuberculosis screening forms as well as a list of the required immunizations.
Your immunization records can be obtained from your physician, health department, or previous school. Your middle or
high school will almost always have records/documentation of the required immunizations.
You are encouraged to update immunizations before coming to campus. Please consider the recommended
vaccinations when you are updating the required ones. Immunizations covered by insurance now, may not be covered
later when you plan to study abroad or participate in internships. It may be costly to receive the immunizations later.
Students who plan to continue treatment for ADHD with Health Services will need to provide an assessment confirming
the diagnosis from Psychiatrist, Psychologist or other Mental Health Provider. Date of assessment must be within 24
months.
Please email the above information to studenthealth@whitehouseclinics.com. It is important that this information
is received by June 11, 2021. Please send all information together. Failure to supply the required information may
result in delayed residence hall assignments and inability to confirm class registration.

the start of the fall semester. If you have any questions or concerns please contact Jennie Horn, at Berea Primary Care

Immunization Requirements
All students entering Berea College must demonstrate completion of required immunizations unless they have been
granted prior religious exemption*.
Varicella, Hepatitis A, and Hepatitis B are highly recommended but not required. Please be aware that insurance
coverage for immunizations changes around ages 18 – 21. Vaccines covered now may not be covered later when they
are needed for study abroad programs or internships.
If you do not have all the required immunizations, you must obtain them before coming to Berea College. If you have
any special circumstances that make it difficult to provide immunization records or you need assistance in obtaining
the vaccines, contact Jennie Horn at Student Health Services by calling (859) 985-1415, extension 3007 or email
studenthealth@whitehouseclinics.com. Failure to supply proof of the required immunization may result in delayed
residence hall assignments and inability to confirm class registration.
___ Completed Health History ___ Copy of Insurance Card (Front & Back)
___ Tuberculosis Risk Assessment ___ Proof of Required Immunizations
___ Results of TB Skin Test if Answered Yes to Questions 4-12
___ ADHD Assessment (if applicable)**
*Those requesting religious exemption should contact Student Health Services by phone or e-mail to obtain the required documentation form.
Religious exemption status may affect ability to participate in certain international travel opportunities offered by the College. Immunization status
is reviewed prior to clearance for all college-sponsored travel and disease risk for un-immunized travelers is of utmost concern.
**The Assessment must be provided from Psychiatrist, Psychologist or other Mental Health Provider. (Date of assessment must be within 24
months).

Although most primary care services are provided at no cost by Student Health Services, the College requires all students
to maintain insurance in case the student’s condition requires additional diagnostic procedures or treatment. Students can
either choose to be covered by a family plan, purchase a plan on healthcare.gov, or purchase the safety net plan offered by
Berea College. Out of state insurances should be verified that coverage extends to Kentucky. Students who need to
purchase coverage through Berea College should respond to emails sent by Financial Aid early in the Fall Term.
Please note: the Berea College safety net plan does not meet minimum required coverage of the Affordable Care Act.
