All admitted students (excluding non-graduating students and continuing & professional education students) are required to undergo a pre-admission medical examination before enrolment. The university reserves the right to refuse your admission should you decide to decline this process.
You are also requested to bring your admissions medical examination form (with Part I completed) on the day of your medical check-up. Please select the form based on the status of your university acceptance.
Admissions Medical Examination Forms
Students matriculated in AY 2023/24 Semester 1 are required to complete all medical examinations by 11 August 2023. If you do not complete the Medical Examination by the deadline, a Negative Service Indicator (NSI) will be checked against you. As a consequence, you may be locked out of access to certain key student services, including examination results, transcripts, etc. Hence, please complete the medical examinations as soon as you can if you have not done so.
Plan Your Visit
Medical examinations may be conducted by the University Health Centre or by a private registered health physician.
Pre-admission medical examinations (ME) for Dentistry students (undergraduates and graduates) are conducted by the Occupational Health Clinic, located at the basement of University Health Centre.
