Logging In to MedProctor
MedProctor requires students to log in with their UT Southern email address.
Email addresses for students entering the University in the fall semester are generated after the student has been confirmed as an Accepted Student through our Admissions Office. These auto-generated emails will be securely sent to the email address with which the student applied to the University. If this timeline has passed and you have not yet received your UT Southern login information, please contact IT at infotech@utsouthern.edu.
All immunization records must be submitted within seven (7) business days before the date on which the student moves into University housing for on-campus/ residential students or seven (7) business days before the first day of classes for off-campus/ commuting students.
