The UNC System requires that eligible students must have health insurance. Students who do not submit an online waiver for verification of outside health insurance will be automatically enrolled in the UNC system-wide plan and the insurance premium will be added to their student account.

North Carolina state law (General Statute 130A-155.1) requires anyone entering college to present a certificate of immunization that documents their compliance with all required immunizations. At Appalachian, we ask that students enter their immunizations and medical history via the MedPortal. Immunization Forms / Documentation should then be uploaded via the MedPortal. If you do not have access to a computer to accomplish this task, you may go to Student Health Service and they can assist you with this process by providing computer access.
A Hold is placed on a student's account when there is a bill unpaid.
