International Students

<< previous page

The University Of Texas Board Of Regents requires all international students holding non-immigrant visa status and residing in the United States to maintain approved comprehensive health insurance coverage while enrolled in the The University of Texas at San Antonio. International students will be automatically enrolled in the UT System student health insurance plan at the time of registration, unless evidence of approved comparable coverage has been furnished to the International Program Office at 458-7202, Main Building (MB 1.210), and a waiver obtained. The charge for this coverage appears as a required fee on the student’s bill. Waivers will not be issued after the Census Day. The International Programs Office completes waivers.

TB Screening:

International students are required by UTSA to have a tuberculosis (TB) skin test or chest x-ray performed and read within 90 days prior to registration. The results must be read by a physician or nurse licensed to practice in the United States of America (USA). The TB test may be obtained from the Student Health Services clinic (RWC 1.500) for a charge and must be completed prior to registering for classes. Students who do not complete this test will not be allowed to register for classes. A student with positive results must have proof of appropriate follow-up and treatment and a confirmatory report submitted to Student Health Services.
