Students living at the residence halls at the Chicago Campus should follow these steps:

1. Online Resources: Many health insurance plans provide “nurse on-call” or web-based medical services. Students and parents are encouraged to become familiar with resources provided by their insurance carrier that can provide assistance during an illness.
2. Communication: Report any serious illness or accidents to a Resident Assistant (RA) or professional staff member in the building.
3. Transportation: If you need to go a hospital and you are not so ill as to warrant an ambulance or you do not have a friend to drive you, the RA on duty will call a cab for you. For insurance reasons, residence hall staff is not permitted to drive students to the hospital, but may accompany you in a cab or ambulance upon your request.
4. Follow up with your RA as soon as you are feeling better.

Students who have a medical or psychological condition that may require assistance while living on campus should notify their RA and/or the Counseling Center (for psychological conditions only). While confidentiality remains tantamount, it is important that the residence hall staff is aware of personal needs and ways they can assist if a concern or crisis arises.

Students are required, by Illinois law, to have an immunization record on file if they were born on or after January 1, 1957, and are planning to enroll in six or more credit hours at any time during their attendance at Roosevelt University. This record must contain proof of immunity to measles, mumps, rubella, and diphtheria/tetanus. A second measles immunization with live attenuated virus vaccine is to have been given at least 28 days after the first measles immunization. You must provide these immunization records only once during your enrollment at Roosevelt. Students who do not have immunization records to verify these vaccinations should immediately contact their physician to obtain a copy of their records or have the appropriate immunizations administered.

Download the immunization form and instructions.

The completed immunization record should be returned to:

It is recommended that you make a copy of the record before submitting it. Documents submitted to the university cannot be returned to the student. If you have immunization questions, feel free to contact us at 877-277-5978 or admission@roosevelt.edu.
