AlcoholEdu and Sexual Assault Prevention
AlcoholEdu and Sexual Assault Prevention are mandatory online programs that must be completed by January 10th. All students will receive an introductory e-mail along with instructions for completing the course.
Student Honor Code
As citizens of the campus community focused on education, students must accept certain obligations that accrue by virtue of such citizenship. Consequently, students must adhere to community standards in accordance with the University's mission and expectations.
Health Insurance Requirement
All full-time students are required to have health insurance coverage. Full-time students who wish to enroll in the Chatham University Student Health Insurance Plan can do so online at my.Chatham.edu. The University-sponsored plan is designed to meet basic health care needs at an affordable cost. Open enrollment runs from June 1, 2020 through August 31, 2020 for the fall term and December 1, 2020 through January 11, 2021 for the spring term.
More information is available at the “Student Health Insurance” link located on the my.Chatham.edu homepage. For benefit information or assistance with the online enrollment process, please call UPMC Health Plan at 1-866-203-8051.

All students are required to submit health information and immunization record information through a secure web-based software platform called Med+Proctor, which will become part of your health record in the Office of Student Health Services. This information is due by January 6th.
You will be receiving an e-mail to your Chatham University e-mail account from Med+Proctor shortly after you deposit prompting you to set-up your account, where you will complete and upload the required health and immunization record information. You will need to log in, create an account, and have information verified by your doctor's office.
