Immunizations

  • Before You Arrive at MU - Obtain copies of your immunization records demonstrating proof of vaccination for measles (rubeola), mumps, and rubella (MMR) and bring these records with you to the US. The Student Health Center will copy the documents for your file. If you are going to renew your MMR vaccine at home, please have it done at least six weeks prior to your arrival at MU. If you have it done less than six weeks before you arrive on campus, the Health Center will not be able to give you the other immunization tests.
  • At MU - MU requires that all newly enrolled or readmitted students comply with the Immunization/Tuberculosis (TB) Screening Policy. Your TB test must be done at MU. Students who do not comply with these requirements will not be allowed to register for classes for their second semester at MU. For more information on the MU immunization policy, please review the Student Health Center website.

Insurance

  • To make sure that you are able to cover any medical expenses, MU requires that all international students purchase the insurance plan provided through the University of Missouri.
  • All F-1, F-2, J-1, and J-2 students will be charged for this insurance on their MU student account when they enroll for any number of credit hours.
  • You may view and download a .pdf version of the current policy brochure.
  • MU strictly limits waivers of the mandatory insurance enrollment. For more information, please see the Insurance Waiver Form.
