Stick It to Covid
We are excited to return to a more traditional on-campus experience this fall, but want to do so in a way that minimizes risks while creating a positive experience for the entire UofM community. As we welcome our students back to campus, we encourage everyone to have the COVID-19 vaccination for the safety and well-being of our campus community. Considering the current increase of young adults becoming sick and hospitalized, we especially want our students protected for their safety.
In preparation for this exciting time, we will continue to monitor the latest CDC, State and local guidelines. Please view the attachment to learn about myths and facts regarding the COVID-19 vaccine. Visit the Vaccine Resource Website for the most current updates.
IMMUNIZATION FORMS FOR NEW STUDENTS
The Student Health Center maintains a website that outlines the immunizations that new students will need to receive before registering for classes. Tennessee state law dictates that all students comply with the immunization requirements as outlined. Completion of the immunization form is required to register full time.
HOW CAN MY STUDENT MAKE ME AN AUTHORIZED USER FOR TIGERXPRESS?
Students can sign up to give others (parents, employers, etc.) the ability to access their account information in the TigerXpress system. Authorized users may view student account balance and make payments. Students have the option to give Authorized Users access to their eBills and payment history.
For more information about Authorized Users and how your student can make you one on the Authorized User website.
ENROLLMENT VERIFICATION
Do you need verification that your student is enrolled for medical insurance, car insurance, or anything else? Students can request enrollment verification from the National Student Clearinghouse or from the Registrar’s office. For complete details on how to request enrollment verification, visit the Enrollment Verification website.
