Is proof of mandatory medical insurance required for international students?
The Board of Regents of the UT-System schools requires that all international students be billed medical insurance every semester. The Board of Regents has granted an exception for Mexican Nationals attending institutions of UTPA, TEP, UTB, and TAMIU. The minimum coverage is $50,000 Medical Benefits, $10,000 Medical Evacuation, $7,500 Repatriation and $500 Deductible. Waivers may be requested if you have proof of your own insurance that is equal to or exceeds these minimums, and that will cover you while in the U.S. For more information visit Office of International Admissions Web site.
