What You Need To Know About Student Compliance

All OHSU School of Nursing students are required to provide documentation regarding the completion of their immunization and compliance records as identified in the Student Compliance and Drug Screening policy 50-01.15 and the OHSU Student Health Service pre-entry guidelines policy 02-01.001. Review the following steps to complete these requirements by the stated deadline. 

New incoming students are issued access to their OHSU accounts, Compass and their network IDs around 60 days prior to their start date. 

Students MUST complete ALL requirements prior to their compliance deadline. If you are not compliant with all requirements within 30 days, a hold will be placed on your student account that will suspend your student status and prevent you from registering and attending classes. If immunization requirements are not completed by 14 days after matriculation, a $95 fee will be charged.
