HOW TO GET A MEDICAL

CERTIFICATE

Completion of Admission
Requirements for Students
Admitted from 2020 to 2022
I submitted the PEHA Certificate of Compliance. I have enlisted in
my subjects. Why do I need a MEDICAL CERTIFICATE for
ADMISSION?
“Every applicant for admission shall undergo a thorough health examination. No person shall be
admitted to the University who is found by the University Health Service to be suffering from a
dangerous, communicable, contagious, or infectious disease or who is physically unfit to take
courses in any college of the University” (Art. 328, p. 82 Revised UP Code).

As stated in each Pre-enrolment Health Assessment (PEHA) Guide released since 2020, thorough health examination and
diagnostic tests have been deferred. Considering the circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic, the PEHA Certificate of
Compliance was sufficient for you to enlist in subjects then. Since you will be attending in-person activities on/off-campus
beginning this Academic Year, it is appropriate that you complete the proper PEHA procedure.

Aside from COVID-19, it is important that we, at UP Health Service, have your BASELINE HEALTH INFORMATION and have you
screened for other health conditions that may affect you, your classmates, and other members of the university.
