The Wellness Center partners with CastleBranch, a health record management system, to support students in managing health and immunization records required for enrollment and clinical placements. Upon admission into their academic program, students will receive information to self-enroll in CastleBranch.
To ensure compliance with College and Public Health Law, an automatic health hold will be placed on all student accounts upon acceptance to the College. To lift this hold, students must submit Trocaire College’s Health and Immunization General Requirement’s Health Form, with supporting documents if necessary, to CastleBranch. General requirements include record of the following: Medical History, Meningococcal (Meningitis) Vaccination Response, MMR records, and proof of COVID-19 vaccination.
Students enrolled in health profession programs are required to submit additional health and immunization records that meet requirements of academic programs and clinical sites. A list of current requirements can be obtained through your CastleBranch account, in the Wellness Center, or in your program’s handbook.
Students are responsible for submitting current and accurate health records through their CastleBranch account and should retain account credentials for access and management of uploaded documents. For questions, please contact the Wellness Center.

The Interpersonal Violence Intervention Program (iVIP) mission is to foster a greater college community that is both aware of, and equipped to respond to Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Stalking, and Sexual Assault. iVIP provides continued education on prevention programming at Trocaire, and in the surrounding community.
