As part of
tuition fees, basic health services are provided through Davison Health Center at 327 High Street and are available to those Wesleyan graduate students who have
submitted a completed health history form, including a record of mandatory immunizations.
SUBMISSION OF THE MEDICAL HISTORY FORM
All graduate students who plan to use the Davison Health Center facilities are required to submit a medical history form and an up-to-date immunization record to the center
before registration. A physical examination is not required, but it is recommended. The immunization form
must be completed and signed by your doctor. Students will not be allowed to register until a completed form has been received.
Graduate students with spouses and dependents should contact the Health Center
regarding user information.
