Tips for New Bluejays

Make the Most of Your Summer Preview Experience

We know there's a lot on your mind so we wanted to offer you some tips on how to prepare for Summer Preview. 

Submit Your Immunization Information

Students are required to upload immunization records to the BirdHouse health portal by May 15th to ensure eligibility for course registration. Please review Creighton University’s immunization requirements.

When ready to upload, login to the BirdHouse portal using your netid@creighton.edu email address. Once logged in, enter your immunization dates AND upload the supporting documentation from the doctor’s office. No specific form is required. Please direct all questions to immunizations@creighton.edu. 

 

Complete Your Power of Attorney Form

Nebraska is one of two states where 19 is the age of majority, instead of 18. This medical power of attorney form, to be signed and notarized by a parent or guardian, allows students who are 18 and younger to give consent for their own health care.

Those who choose to complete this form should do the following: 

  1. Email the completed form to studenthealth@creighton.edu. (A copy of the form will be kept on file in Student Health Education and Compliance and a copy will be sent to the CHI Student Care Clinic.) 
  2. Students should carry a copy of this form or keep a digital image of this form on their phone, should they seek healthcare in Nebraska, outside of the CHI health system.

Submit Your ID Photo

To pick up your student ID card at Summer Preview, please submit your photo to the Card Services office. You can also have your photo taken during Summer Preview.

Student Employment Paperwork

Bring your student employment paperwork. If you plan to hold an on-campus job during your time at Creighton, you’ll need to bring a few pieces of documentation when you come to campus. Click here to review the process and required documents to complete these steps at Summer Preview. 

Microsoft Teams Access

Microsoft Teams is the main method of instant message communication your small group leader will use to communicate during your session. Download the app on your phone or desktop or access it through the Creighton Office 365 suite. Your Net ID and Blue password will give you access to this app.

Start Checking Your Creighton Email Account

We'll start sending communications to your Creighton email account, so get in the habit of checking that now. You can download Outlook or the Office 365 suite and log in using your Net ID and Blue password.

Download the Guidebook App

Guidebook will house all the Summer Preview schedules, and will also have important Move-In and Welcome Week information. We encourage you and your family members to download the app before arriving for Summer Preview.
