Pre-Matriculation Requirements

What is a 95 number (also known as your Student ID#)?
Body

Every student is issued a 95 number upon acceptance and it is sent from the Admissions Office in an email communication. This is your student ID number and how you are identified in the UVM Banner System. You can find your 95 number in your myUVM portal (under "Your Personal Information"). You will need this number to get your CATcard and activate your UVM email the first time you access your email account. You may also locate this identification number in the Online Access to Student Information and Scheduling (OASIS) - select ACCOUNT and then "Edit Account Information."

Please review our Credentials Table/Quick Reference Sheet (PDF) to help you navigate the different credentials you receive and use over the course of your medical education.

How do I change my contact information on my application?
Body

Once you've matriculated, all official University communication will be via your UVM and the Larner College of Medicine email account. Contact information will need to be updated via the myUVM Portal.

The University of Vermont Registrar's Office processes all name change requests.  If you legally change your name and would like your educational records to be updated to reflect that change, you will need to complete the Registrar Office Name Change Form and return it (by mail, or in person) with two acceptable forms of identification to the University of Vermont Registrar's Office in the Waterman Building.  Acceptable forms of identification include a driver's license, a marriage certificate, a Social Security card, a passport, and a court document.

If you have not legally changed your name but would like to indicate a lived name, please visit the Lived Name and Pronoun page for more information.

What are the pre-matriculation requirements?
When will my OASIS account be activated?
Body

Our office will send you an OASIS instructions log-in email once we have received your background check and established you as a medical student. Read more about the matriculation requirements. 
 

I believe I have completed some pre-matriculation, but why is there still a red 'x'?
Body

For a limited number of items, the red 'x' will not change to indicate that the item is complete until the Office of Admissions verifies that they are complete. These items include official transcripts, technical standards forms, background checks, and the disability insurance form. Be sure to designate a beneficiary on the disability insurance form.
 

Where should I send my final transcripts?
Body

You do not need to submit official transcripts if all your degrees were completed at the time of application. We can verify the conferral of your degree(s) via the AMCAS application.  
 
If your degree was in progress at the time you submitted your AMCAS application, official transcripts are required to confirm the conferral of all degrees before you can matriculate into the Larner College of Medicine. The deadline for receipt of all transcripts is July 1 of your matriculation year. If your degree is conferred after July 1, a letter from the Office of the Registrar confirming your eligibility to graduate is acceptable until official transcripts can be sent. 

Final transcripts should be mailed or emailed to our general inbox (lcom.admissions@med.uvm.edu) if you had any ongoing degrees since submitting your secondary. Please send official transcripts directly from the degree-granting institution to:

Who can I contact about the Health Insurance Form?
Body

If you have questions about student health insurance, please contact the UVM Student Health Insurance Office at StudentInsurance@uvm.edu.

I've reviewed the Technical Standards form; who can I contact about an accommodation?
Body

If you require an accommodation, please contact Student Accessibility Services
 

I was admitted late and do not think I will be able to meet the July 1 deadline. What should I do?
Body

Students who are admitted late are expected to complete all the pre-matriculation requirements within 30 days from their official acceptance date. Contact Medical Admissions at medadmissions@med.uvm.edu if you have additional questions or concerns.

May I receive a waiver or extension for my requirements?
Body

In general, you are expected to complete the pre-matriculation items by July 1 or within 30 days of your acceptance.

Immunization requirements must be in process with Student Health Services by July 1. If you need a waiver or extension for any immunization requirements and for help with all other immunization questions, please contact Student Health Services at SHSQNA@uvm.edu.

Your provider should complete the form with current/existing information before it is submitted. If you need additional vaccination(s), do not delay sending in the form by the July 1 deadline. Instead, attach a note to the form advising UVM Student Health Services that you are aware of the requirement and provide the date of your scheduled appointment.  

If you do not have health insurance to complete the immunization requirements, we encourage you to explore low-cost clinics in your locale and/or insurance options, such as Vermont Health Connect or COBRA. The Community Health Center of Burlington also offers sliding-scale payment options and advice for uninsured individuals.

How do I complete the Disability Insurance Form?
Body

Please ensure you complete all fields (especially designating a beneficiary) in the Pre-Matriculation Checklist. Please make sure the primary designation equals 100%.  

If you do not know where you will live when you move to Burlington, you can indicate your living address as "89 Beaumont Avenue, Given Mailroom, Burlington, VT 05405".  You will receive a Larner College of Medicine mailbox at this address upon matriculation.

  • The coverage start date is the first day of your orientation.
  • This coverage may not be waived, even if you have other coverage.
  • You can complete and sign the form electronically.
