Mandatory Check-In
All new and transfer international students should visit the International Center located in the lower level of Shaw within the first 15 days of the semester in order to remain in status with immigration. Bring your passport, I-20, I-94 card, and current address. If you have F-2 dependents (spouse and children) who traveled with you to the U.S., bring their I-20, I-94, and passport with you as well.
Health Insurance
The health care system in the U.S. is extremely expensive and not supported by the U.S. government. In order to avoid large costs every international student is required to purchase health insurance that would help to cover some of your medical expenses.
Students and scholars with J visas, are required to have insurance that meets these minimum coverage amounts:
• At least $50,000 per accident or illness
• Repatriation of remains in the amount of $7,500
• Medical evacuation to their home country in the amount of $10,000.
• A deductible not to exceed $500 per accident or illness
