All international students are required to have accident
and sickness insurance which covers the cost of hospitalization
during their stay in the United States. Hospital costs here
can be quite expensive and you need to have insurance to help
with these expenses. Brochures and applications for the plan
endorsed by the Office of International Education and the
University Student Health Services will be available at the
new student orientation and in the office of the international
student adviser. Please do not purchase any health and accident
insurance plan from outside the U.S. Most likely, these policies
are not acceptable at American hospitals or by U.S. physicians.
The cost of medical insurance has been figured into the cost
of attending VCU for one year, therefore it is expected that
you will be able to sign up for medical insurance at the new
student orientation.

Health immunization record
You are required to submit an official English copy of your
immunization record to University
Student Health Services upon your arrival. Please try
to take care of this matter before you leave your country,
and contact University Student Health Services if you have
any questions.
