Share on:

Posted on Tuesday, July 14, 2020

Your health is a high priority for us here at Westminster College. This is a friendly reminder regarding health related requirements and suggestions.

Health Forms: The Admission Physical Form, Meningitis Immunization & Waiver Form were due June 15 and must be submitted prior to your residence hall move in. Login to the student health portal to complete and upload required health forms. We recognize the difficulty in scheduling doctor appointments and securing your signed documents. If you are having difficulty, please contact the Wellness Center at (724) 946-7927. Printable health forms can be located at https://my.westminster.edu/ICS/Campus_Life/Campus_Groups/Student_Affairs/New_Student_Checklist/

Health & Safety Policies: To keep our community safe, students and employees will be required to wear masks on campus. Physical distancing and proactive mitigation strategies will also be implemented. New students will receive training and health & safety education during orientation.

COVID Care Kits and Self-Screening: Students will be required to conduct daily self-screening for symptoms of illness. We recommend that each student prepare a personal care kit for infection prevention and symptom relief in case of mild illness. The kit should include:

  • Digital thermometer
  • 3-5 cloth masks
  • Hand sanitizer
  • Disinfectant wipes
  • A self-care kit for illness or injury– suggestions include pain and fever reducers (ex. acetaminophen or ibuprofen), cold, cough, and allergy relief (ex. Cough drops, decongestants, antihistamines), upset stomach relief (ex. Tums, antidiarrheal), band-aids, antibiotic ointment, sore throat lozenges

Insurance: We ask that students have insurance and require insurance cards are on file with the Wellness Center.

Working together, we can keep the Titan community healthy and well. See you soon!
