Health Forms 

Fork Union Military Academy's Infirmary uses SchoolDoc to manage the required annual health forms. Please make sure you have completed your health profile before arriving to campus. You will receive an email inviting you to SchoolDoc. If you have not received this email, please contact the Infirmary at infirmary@fuma.org.

Please note that the nurses will be reviewing all health forms when you arrive on campus to check-in. Any incomplete forms, especially those that require a healthcare provider signature, may delay the check-in process. Parents will be responsible for completing these items before they can leave their cadet on campus. We cannot accept paper forms at check-in.

For all school and health related questions, please contact the Infirmary at 434-842-4310 or infirmary@fuma.org.

*Official Transcript Information* 

Ensuring we have this information now will better help our scheduling team set your son's academic schedule. Please make sure the official transcript is signed, sealed, and has all complete information (grades and credits earned). The official document needs to come directly from the school your son attended last year.  

We cannot update our transcript information or finalize scheduling without an official transcript.

The following documents can not be accepted as official transcripts: 

  • Picture images/screenshots uploaded 
  • Progress reports 
  • Computer printouts from school information system  
  • A transcript that is unsigned and/or does not have the school seal 

If you have any questions regarding the transcript or need any further assistance, please contact our Admissions Office at 434-842-4205 or admissions@fuma.org

Hair Cuts

Fork Union Military Academy would like to request your son to arrive on campus clean shaven and with a proper haircut. The regulation haircut for Fork Union Military Academy Summer Academy is:

Hair should be neatly tapered and not extend over the ears or shirt collar. Sideburns are cut on a line with the top of the exterior ear opening. Extreme hairstyles (spiked, dyed, braided, etc.) are prohibited. Students should not cut each other's hair, nor their own hair, as trimmers are not authorized on campus. Students will have their hair cut by the Academy barber, as necessary. Wearing earrings is not permitted.

If your son is unable to receive a haircut prior to check-in, we can arrange for him to see our barber on campus.
