Health Insurance & Immunizations

Immunizations & Health Insurance

Every student at UNC has to submit immunization documents as well as proof of health insurance. Below paragraphs provide more information for both insurance and immunization.  

Immunization Documents:

This is not urgent but you should look into the requirements. The to-do list for this will also be in Connect Carolina but probably not visible until June. Please review what is needed here: UNC Campus Health Immunization requirements.

Health Insurance:

This is also not urgent. Many students don’t look into this until the start of the term. It is however mandatary for every student to have insurance. You are not required to buy UNC Student Blue and can opt-out (request waiver) for this insurance. More will be emailed once we have new information available. Please review health insurance information here.  

For international students, your own insurance policy needs to meet the minimum requirements UNC mandates:

  • A minimum medical benefit of $100,000 coverage for each specific illness or injury.
  • A deductible not to exceed $500 per accident or illness.
  • Provide at least $25,000 in benefits for repatriation of remains to the home country in case of death.
  • Pay up to $50,000 for medical evacuation to the home country.
