Need more help?
Take a look at some of these common challenges and tips to solve them.
Photo file size too large?
Some students, especially those with iPhones, have noted that the picture they take is too large to upload to MyChart. We are working on increasing the file size maximum, but in the meantime, you can temporarily change your phone's camera setting to a lower quality resolution.
You can do this in Settings > Camera > Formats. Selecting "Most Compatible" should solve the problem.
Issue with the Registry
Some students have received error messages indicating that they could not be located in the Wisconsin Vaccination Registry. If this is the case, we recommend taking a photo of your original Vacine Record Card and uploading directly to MyChart.
If you do not have your vaccine record card, you may be able to receive assistance from the Wisconsin Vaccination Registry by using the "Help" button on their site.
Did I do this already?
If you are not sure if you have already uploaded your vaccination record, simply log into MyChart and select "Immunizations" from the left-side menu. (Click the three white lines in the corner to expand the menu.) If you see thumbnail graphics representing files, such as a PDF or a photo, you have already uploaded your record.
If no files appear, we recommend that you follow the steps outlined for uploading either a photo or a PDF copy of your record to MyChart.
Illinois Residents
Instead of using the Wisconsin Vaccination Registry, Illinois residents should use the Illinois Resident Immunization Portal to retrieve a PDF copy of their record.
Illinois Resident Immunization Portal
Once you have a PDF copy, the instructions for uploading to MyChart are the same as Wisconsin residents.
Something Else?
Oh no! We're sorry to hear that you are facing challenges. We want to help. Keep an eye out for pop-up tables throughout campus where you can get assistance in person.
You can also send us your question. Be sure to describe your issue so that we can follow up with you!
NEXT STEPS
The document is verified by Student Health Clinic personnel. Once verified, students, faculty, and staff will receive an email from the clinic notifying them that they are exempt from COVID-19 testing as long as they are asymptomatic.
SHCC Staff will review, verify, and acknowledge the immunization record. After that process, which may take 2-3 business days, you will receive a secure message in MyChart from the clinic staff confirming that you are no longer required to participate in surveillance testing.
Please keep in mind that you may still contract COVID after vaccination. If you are symptomatic, you should seek medical attention. Students can call the Student Health & Counseling Center at 262-595-2366 to make an appointment; faculty and staff should consult their primary care providers.
