The University of Colorado Denver has a mandatory health insurance policy for all enrolled international students in the non-immigrant visa categories of F-1 and J-1. Unfortunately, we do not offer health insurance for our domestic students at this time. While many other countries bear health care expenses for their residents, individuals in the United States are responsible for these expenses themselves. Healthcare in the U.S. can be very costly, and a single visit to the emergency room can cost thousands of dollars. Therefore it is important to have a good insurance policy that gives students access to medical facilities and protects against the high cost of healthcare.
If you are covered under comparable coverage, you may qualify to waive university-issued student health insurance plans. Every student wishing to be waived from the University-sponsored plan must fill out and submit the waiver form twice every year.
The State of Colorado has immunization requirements for all students. All international students are required to comply with the Immunization Policy for the Auraria Campus. You may submit proof of immunizations through the Auraria Immunization Compliance Form below.
If the Auraria Immunization Office does not receive your completed measles, mumps, and rubella records by the deadlines stated on their website, an immunization HOLD will be placed on the student’s account, preventing future registrations.
Students born after January 1, 1957, must complete Step 1 of the Auraria Immunization Compliance Form, which can be found on the Immunization Policy Website, and attach proof of one of the following:
(Please note all records must be translated into English by a Medical Provider)
For specific deadlines, forms and information, visit the Immunization Policy Website, call the Auraria Immunization Office at 303-615-9997, or stop by the office located in the Plaza Building, Suite 149.
