Before you get here...
In the months leading up to matriculation, you'll receive information about registration, immunization requirements, housing, financial aid, and orientation. Please monitor your email regularly and reach out to the Office of Admissions with any questions as you prepare to join us.
Review your contact information:
Please keep your preferred contact information updated in AMCAS. Until matriculation, this is the phone number, email address, and regular mailing address that we use to contact you.
Release your background check:
Your acceptance is provisional until you have completed and released the results of a criminal background check. Please review our brochure, "About the AAMC-Facilitated Background Check Service (PDF)" for more information.
Update your status with us:
Use the CYMS tool to PTE by April 30th and CTE with us by May 28th to retain your seat
Plan to Enroll (PTE)
- The PTE option in the CYMS system generally opens on February 19th (or the next business day). This selection implies that the applicant is strongly considering attending the selected medical school, and they may be holding other acceptances or remaining on waitlists.
- Please note that after April 30th you can only hold PTE status with one medical school.
Commit to Enroll (CTE)
- The CTE option in the CYMS system opens on April 30th (or the next business day). This selection implies that the applicant is fully committed to that medical school and has withdrawn from other acceptances and waitlists.
U.S. Citizens and permanent residents:
Complete your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) if you intend to take out a loan.
Connect with our Student Financial Services Coordinator:
To schedule a meeting, review tuition costs or to get any other financial assistance, visit Financial Services. This is a Larner College of Medicine-specific resource for financial services.
Activate your OASIS account:
Our office will send you an OASIS instructions log-in email once we have received your background check and established you as a medical student. Read more about the matriculation requirements.
Tours:
We offer tours on a limited basis to accepted students only. If you have been accepted and want to schedule a tour, please fill out this survey at least one week before your visit.
Monthly budget and spending plan:
Ensuring your finances are well-planned is an important step prior to beginning your medical education. Create a monthly plan using this budget worksheet (PDF).
Upon your arrival for Orientation...
Once you've matriculated, our Office of Medical Student Services becomes your primary point of contact for academic support, advising, wellness resources, and day-to-day student life. Please reach out to the Medical Student Services team with any questions or needs once you're on campus.
Your path at Larner begins with a mandatory week-long Orientation. Learn more about Orientation Week (credentials required)
Other Helpful Information for First Years
Do students tend to live in specific areas close to UVM and the University of Vermont Medical Center?
There are many apartment complexes and condominiums around the medical center area that are close to bus transit routes (UVM students ride for free with their student identification cards). Many students live south or west of campus; however, there are numerous other options. Please refer to the our housing resources page.
While medical students do not typically live on campus, there might be limited options. On-Campus housing depends on availability after all required undergraduate students are housed and the student's ability to sign a nine-month contract. However, there is also off-campus, affiliate housing available to graduate students.
Do I need to buy a computer?
No, you do not need to purchase a personal computer for your Medical Education. The College will provide you with a device/tablet at orientation. This computer is yours and the Technology Services team (COMTS) provides IT services and maintenance while you are enrolled at the Larner College of Medicine.
How do I get proof of enrollment at UVM?
"Proof of Enrollment" is requested through the UVM Registrar's Office, via your myUVM portal. After logging into myUVM portal, navigate to the "Registrar" tab and click on enrollment verification in the My Verification channel. Once you successfully signed in, you also can view loan deferment notifications that were sent to lenders (such as VSAC) and any certificates provided to health insurers or other organizations. Please contact the UVM Registrar with any questions or visit the UVM Registrar's Office Enrollment Verifications webpage.
