Welcome Oles!
The state of Minnesota requires that all students attending college be immunized for or have legal exemption for measles, mumps, rubella, tetanus, and diphtheria. These immunizations must meet the vaccine schedule as defined by the CDC. The two shot MMR series cannot be administered before the 1st birthday or sooner than 28 days apart from each vaccination. The TDAP or TD vaccine must be given within 10 years of matriculation to college. This information must be documented and submitted to Health Services for verification.
Required Health Forms
Through the St Olaf OleCare Portal, please read through the directions carefully and submit the following REQUIRED forms: Immunization data, Tuberculosis (TB) Screening Questions, Confidentiality of Records, and Report of Medical History. You will also upload a copy of your immunization record to the portal.
Students will have access to the portal once they have made an official deposit to the College and have set up a username and password. Please allow 24 hours after setting up the username/password to access the OleCare portal.
You must enter the dates of the required immunizations, upload a copy of your immunization record, and complete the Tuberculosis Screening Form, Report of Medical History, and Confidentiality of Records. Complete all requirements by July 15. Immunization and TB requirements not submitted will result in a HOLD being placed on registration.
Students, if you are having difficulty using OleCare:
- Be sure you are using your St Olaf email and password. If you have recently changed your password and you can’t log in, contact the IT help desk.
- Phone: Ext. 3830 (507-786-3830)
- E-mail: helpdesk@stolaf.edu
**Athletes submitting immunizations and other required items to the Athletic Department must still complete the online requirements for Health Services, including the Report of Medical History and Confidentiality of Records.
The Report of Medical History is not reviewed upon submission, but is reviewed when care is established in Health Service. Students need to complete the form before being seen in Health Service for any appointment.
