If you are missing any of the required immunizations, you will be contacted through your Barnard affiliated email address. We encourage all students to submit them as soon as possible for processing. IMPORTANT, if you will be 17 years of age or younger when you begin the semester, complete these forms with your parent/guardian as their signature will be required.

Please check back here for updates to our Fall 2025 form.

To Access your Requirements in Open Communicator:

• Log into Open Communicator, Barnard’s Patient Portal, using your Barnard credentials
• Navigate to the "Forms & Immunization Requirements" Page, on the lefthand sidebar
• Select “Upload” to submit your completed records, forms, and responses to the electronic forms for each category.

How do I become compliant?

• Your status column starts as "not-compliant" with the details "no data" (see above.)
• As you submit your responses to each of the items, your status will become "compliant" and details "satisfied", which indicates you've satisfied your requirements however:
  • YOU WILL NOT BE FULLY COMPLIANT until our medical team is able to verify your immunization form. This can take several days, so please continue to check your portal until your "overall clearance" indicates satisfied.

Other Important Information and Detailed Guide

• If we have any questions or concerns regarding any of your responses, we will reach out to your Barnard email address.  Be sure to check there periodically over the summer to ensure a prompt response.
