Health Insurance

F-1 Degree Seeking Students

NAU requires both Immunization records and Health Insurance for all students.

Health Insurance

All international students must purchase NAU’s student health insurance. Exceptions will be made only for sponsored students who have adequate insurance provided by the government or a sponsoring agency or for students whose parents or spouse have health insurance coverage through U.S. employment. PRIVATE POLICIES WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.

Immunization Requirement

To help ensure the health of the entire student population, Northern Arizona University requires verification of measles (rubeola) for all students born after December 31, 1956. A copy of an official immunization record may be obtained from your health care provider, health department, high school, or previous college.

 


Documentation must show proof of:

A) TWO measles (rubeola) vaccinations after first birthday, at least 28 days apart
OR
B) SIGNED documentation by a physician of measles (rubeola) disease or documentation of measles (rubeola) titer showing immunity


You Will Encounter Problems Registering, Adding or Dropping Classes Until You have
Satisfactorily Met This Requirement.

Recommended (but not required) Immunizations for Enrollment:
Meningococcal Vaccine:

We Recommend that you consider getting this immunization, expecially if you will be living in a residence hall or similar setting. It is not required, however! One injection offers protection from BACTERIAL MENINGITIS, which while not common, is a very serious and potentially fatal disease. Studies have found that college freshmen living in residence halls are at greater risk than the general population. It is available at the Fronske Health Center: call 523.6359 for more information.

 

 

Other recommended immunizations, according to the guidelines of the American College Health Association:

• Tetanus and Diptheria (Td) -- every 10 years
• Varicella (chickenpox, shingles) -- if you have never had chicken pox disease
• Hepatitis B -- series of 3 injections
• Polio -- most students already received this during childhood


Also consider:

• Hepatitis A -- series of 2 injections, given if higher risk of exposure such as travel
• Influenza (flu) -- annually, for high-risk persons and anyone wishing to avoid flu
