How To Get a Copy of Your Medical Records

Students frequently need copies of their medical record from our office. Sometimes they are graduating and will be transferring their medical care to a new provider, so they want their full medical record. Other times they just need a copy of their immunization record. By federal law, we can only release copies of your record if we have your written and signed consent. Phone calls and email requests are not considered secure enough when dealing with confidential medical records. We must have your signed consent in order to release anything in your records.

If you are on campus:

• Come into our office and the receptionist can give you a release of information form to complete and sign.
• It usually takes about 1 week for you to receive your records.

If you are not on campus:

• Please send us a written request with the information below, and sign it.
  • Name
  • Date of Birth
  • Tufts Student ID#
  • Year of Graduation
  • What information you want sent - entire medical record, immunization record, mental health record, etc.
  • Where we should send the information (we will fax immunization records, but more complete records we can only mail to you)
  • How to reach you if we have any questions
• You may either mail or fax the request to us. Our fax number is 617-627-3592.
