Student Health Requirements

All students are required to have the campus-sponsored student health and hospitalization insurance or its equivalent. At the time of registration each year, students must either purchase the student coverage or produce certified proof of equivalent coverage. If proof of comparable insurance is not received at Student and Employee Health by September 15, the student will be required to pay for the student policy for that semester.

Students are required to document their immunity to childhood diseases, including measles, mumps, rubella and chicken pox. Information regarding specific requirements will be distributed to each student.

Since hepatitis B is an occupational risk for health care providers, all enrolling dental students are also required to undergo immunization against hepatitis B. Vaccine cost is included in the student fees.
