[NewIntlStudents] Health insurance and vaccination requirements

[New International Students]

The A&M System requires all international students (anyone holding a non-immigrant visa) to be enrolled in the System Student Health Insurance Plan.  There are very few exceptions to the insurance requirements.  The SSHIP insurance charge if a separate charge that will show up on a new student's student account by the beginning of the second week of classes.  The ISSS will provide a health insurance session at the International Student Orientation to address any questions.  For more information please review the New International Student Guidebook at www.tamuc.edu/guidebook<http://www.tamuc.edu/guidebook>.

Texas state law requires all new students 21 years of age or younger who are admitted to a Texas university or college to either receive a Bacterial Meningitis Vaccination or meet the exemption requirements prior to the first day of class.  Students who are 22 years of age or older DO NOT require the vaccination.
