Please do not fax or mail your records to EWU. You must get your records from your healthcare provider and upload them to Med+Proctor yourself.
Beginning Fall 2020, the Eastern Washington University Board of Trustees passed a policy which requires all students and staff to show verification of measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) immunity. Satisfying this public health requirement will allow you to register for classes.
If you were born on or after January 1, 1957, proof of MMR immunity means you are able to provide documentation that shows:
- Two doses of measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine received after one year of age and at least one month apart, or
- A blood test (titer) showing measles, mumps and rubella immunity, or
- Diagnosed measles, mumps and rubella disease (healthcare provider's signature required).
Measles, mumps and rubella are highly communicable diseases that can be mitigated by receiving two (2) doses of the MMR vaccine. The presence in our society of individuals who have not been immunized for measles, mumps and rubella creates a significant health risk. College age students remain susceptible to measles, mumps and rubella and these diseases continue to be associated with outbreaks in the general public and on college campuses. During the recent past, there have been numerous cases in Washington State and Spokane County, Washington. Confirmed outbreaks on a college campus can lead the Spokane Regional Health District to place a campus on exclusionary status.
In the event the Spokane Regional Health District determines there is a measles, mumps, or rubella outbreak on campus, university officials will notify those students who have an approved waiver request of the outbreak. Students with approved waiver requests will not be allowed on campus including, but not limited to: attending classes, participating in campus activities, or living in residence halls. Typically, an outbreak lasts for two to four weeks and students with an approved waiver will not be allowed on campus during an outbreak. Once the outbreak is no longer in effect, students will be notified that they may return to campus.
We accept any of the following documents as proof of measles, mumps, and rubella immunity:
- School Certificate of Immunizations, or
- Immunization records from your healthcare provider, public health department, or state immunization registry, or
- Copy of your child immunization card, or
- Copy of your military immunization record, or
- Signed proof of immunity form (located on the Med+Proctor site) from your healthcare provider.
For Students: Here are the steps to follow
EWU has partnered with Med+Proctor to collect and verify proof of immunity.
- Register at Med+Proctor, using your EWU Eagles Email. Select ‘New Users – Register’.
- Follow the directions to complete your Med+Proctor profile using your EWU Eagles Email.
- If using school certificate of immunization, immunization records from a healthcare provider, public health department, state immunization registry, child immunization card, military immunization record, or positive titer results, you will make a .jpeg of the document and submit it as a supporting document.
- You do not need to pay for Med+Procter services. When asked to submit your records, choose the grey button at the bottom, which says "No, thank you. I do not want access to my documents."
- If you are unable to find your immunization records, but your healthcare provider has a record, you can print off the Immunization Certificate form on the Med+Proctor website, take it to your healthcare provider and have them complete and sign the form. Once that is done, you can upload a .jpeg of the form to the Med+Proctor website as the immunization certificate.
- Med+Proctor will send you a confirmation email once your records have been verified. The verification process may take up to 10 business days.
For Staff: Here are the steps to follow
Visit support.medproctor.com for any questions associated with submitting required immunization documentation.
Immunizations records can only be accepted through Med+Proctor. Health, Wellness & Prevention Services will not accept any documents, certificates or emails at this time.
If you are a current student, MultiCare Rockwood serves as our student health clinic and provides the MMR (measles, mumps & rubella) vaccine and/or a MMR titer blood test. There is no additional cost for the MMR immunization, and there is an $8.00 co-pay for the titer. Best practice is to receive a titer to determine immunity before revaccinating. Please call 509-235-6151 to make an appointment with your Student Health provider for either of these services.
If you are not a current student, you can receive the vaccine or a titer from your healthcare provider. Pharmacies are also able to provide the MMR vaccine. Please call your pharmacy about availability first.
Students who have not turned in proof of measles immunity will have a hold placed on their student account beginning with registration for Winter term 2020 and won’t be able to register for classes.
If you have a measles registration hold, submit your proof of measles immunity in Med+Proctor as soon as possible. We will remove the hold on your account once Med+Proctor has received and processed your documents.
Once Med+Proctor has verified your documents, please call Health, Wellness, and Prevention Services to have the hold removed at (509) 359-4279.
If you received measles immunizations in the past but don’t have documentation, try contacting these sources to get a copy of your immunization record:
- The doctor where you received your immunizations
- Your high school
- The public health department responsible for the area where you received the vaccine
- Some states have immunization registries that are a central location for accessing immunization status. If you have received your vaccinations in:
- Washington State, you can check your immunization records online through Wa.MyIR.net
- Idaho, you can request your immunization records through Idaho Department of Health and Welfare
- Montana, you can request your immunization records through Montana Official State website
- Oregon, you can request your immunization records through Oregon Health Authority: Getting immunization records

If you have a medical or religious reason to be exempt from this requirement, complete the Request for Waiver form found in the Med+Proctor system. Once waiver is completed, upload document to the Med+Proctor site.
If you are a student in a 100% online program and do not ever come to campus, you do not need to do anything.
If you submit a waiver form, and we have an outbreak of Measles, Mumps or Rubella on campus, you will be notified and will not be allowed on campus. This includes, but is not limited to: attending classes, participating in campus activities, or living in residence halls. You will continue to be responsible for paying tuition and housing costs during the time you are excluded from campus. An outbreak typically lasts for a minimum of two weeks and you will not be able to be on campus during that time period. Once the outbreak is no longer in effect, you will be notified that you will be able to return to campus.
