Vanderbilt University requires all eligible students to be covered by a health insurance plan that is comparable to or exceeds the Student Injury and Sickness Insurance Plan.

If you have other insurance and do not wish to participate in the Student Injury and Sickness Plan offered through the University, you must complete an online waiver form indicating your other insurance information or you will remain enrolled in the plan offered by the university and will be responsible for paying the insurance premium.

All students who wish to waive coverage are required to complete an online form at the beginning of each academic year. Learn more information about Vanderbilt Health Insurance.

All students will be required to complete a Peabody College specific background check. Prior to the start of classes, you will be provided access to the Background Check process and instructions in your 2VU Orientation Course. Background check clearance items must be submitted via the orientation course prior to your first day of classes.

The fingerprinting requirement must be met prior to your first on-campus immersion. Fingerprinting must be done through Vanderbilt’s approved vendor, Identogo. Identogo office locations can be found on the company’s website: www.identogo.com/locations. Prior to the start of classes, you will receive an email from the Background Clearance Office with further instructions.

Vanderbilt devotes considerable resources to assisting students in making intelligent choices regarding their own health and safety, as well as the health and safety of other students and the larger Vanderbilt community. Among these resources are online education programs designed to provide critical information about our community’s expectations. The Office of the Dean of Students will contact you via your Vanderbilt email address when the modules are available with information about the program requirements, access information, and deadlines when the modules are available. For more information about these requirements, visit https://www.vanderbilt.edu/studentaccountability/online-modules or contact doscompliance@vanderbilt.edu.

As students of Vanderbilt University, you will be given a student ID. In order to receive a student ID, please complete the 2VU Student Orientation course. You should have all information submitted by your first day of class.
