Exchange students at the University of Virginia are required to have health insurance coverage; you must either enroll in the UVA student health plan or submit proof of health insurance coverage that is comparable and be waived from the UVA student health plan.

It is not up to the ISO to determine comparable coverage; Student Health reviews plans and whether they meet requirements. If Student Health determines that the coverage is not comparable, you will be automatically enrolled in the UVA plan and responsible for costs.

For more information, please visit the  Student Health and Wellness website.

Immunizations & vaccines

All students are required to fill out the Pre-Entrance Health Form (PEHF) and show proof that you have received the required vaccines.
