By using their SharkLink/email username student can access all these items through one login.

NSU Student Health Insurance

NSU requires all students to carry adequate health insurance coverage. Therefore, students will automatically be enrolled in the NSU Student Health Insurance Plan, and their student accounts will be charged accordingly. Students insured under another insurance plan must opt out of the NSU Student Health Insurance Plan each academic year by the given waiver deadline for their program. For detailed information, including waiver deadlines; access to the online waiver; and NSU Student Health Insurance Plan features, costs, and more, students should visit the Bursar’s website.

NSU’s Silverman College of Pharmacy (NSU COP) has partnered with Certiphi Screening Inc. to complete the background check process. The use of Certiphi Screening Inc. as a provider is beneficial to students as it is a secure unified way for PharmCAS participating schools to screen an applicant applying to multiple schools.

To begin the background check process:

• You will receive a code from studentedition@certiphi.com. If you did not receive the email with the code, please notify the Admissions Counselor. The code is generated through PharmCAS. If you are a deferred student, you will not receive an email with a code. Please contact the Student Services personnel at your campus.
• Once the code is received, click on the following link to access the Application Station and enter the code you received in the Application Station code field: https://applicationstation.certiphi.com/
• If you have not already created an account for yourself, click the "SIGN UP NOW" button to do so. Otherwise, just click the "SIGN BACK IN" button to login using your Username and Password. Enter your full name and date of birth, Social Security Number (If applicable), current address, phone number, and email address.
• Follow the instructions on the Application Station web site to complete your Background Investigation Consent forms.
• If you previously completed a background check for this admissions cycle (2024-2025) through Certiphi for another university, you will not be required to repeat the process.
• The background check process must be completed ASAP.

Offers of admission will not be considered final until the completion of the background check(s) with results that are deemed favorable by NSU Health Professions Division. Admission may be denied or rescinded, the student may be disciplined or dismissed, or his or her enrollment may be terminated if information received indicates that the student has provided false or misleading statements, has omitted required information, or in any way is unable to meet the requirements for completion of the program.

Following the initial background check (s), matriculated students may be asked annually to provide a certification relating to any convictions or guilty or no-contest pleas to any criminal offense other than traffic violations. Additionally, a Level 2 background check may be required of students completing certain rotations.

Health Profession Division students attending NSU are required to be properly immunized and receive a physical examination prior to the start of the program Immunization Form (PDF).

Immunizations are necessary for the health and safety of the students, the patients, and the staff. Students can expect to complete the following types of immunizations and vaccinations.

• Measles, Mumps and Rubella

• Tuberculosis Screening PPD 

Certiphi Screening Inc. will also manage and approve your health and immunization records. You will receive a prompt by email from Certiphi Screening Inc. to create an account under a system known as myRecordTracker.

1. Students will receive an email from the address: applicationstation@certiphi.com to their NSU emails, after they have paid their deposit.
   • Remember to check your junk and spam folders.
   • Click the link and follow the instructions.
2. If you still are unable to locate an email after reviewing the steps above, please contact your student services representative for your respective campus.
