Insurance Waivers

 

 F-1 international students who want to waive the UST-sponsored health insurance plan can submit their U.S.-based health insurance information that meets the minimum requirements via Murphy Online at: https://banner.stthomas.edu.

 

F-1 international students who do not complete the Murphy Online waiver process by the 10th day of classes will be automatically enrolled in and billed for the UST-sponsored plan. Those whose waiver request is approved will still be enrolled in and billed for an evacuation and repatriation plan.

 J-1 international students are not eligible to waive the UST-sponsored plan due to Department of State requirements.

     

     

    Additional Health Requirements - Immunizations

    The state of Minnesota requests MMR and Tetanus/Diphtheria dates on all students. Immunization information is to be entered under the Student Service tab via Murphy Online at http://banner.stthomas.edu. No changes can be made once this information is entered. You may contact Student Health Service at 651-962-6750 with updates, changes or questions. Registration holds will be placed on all undergraduate students and all international students that do not enter this information by the 45th day of classes.

    To provide you with the most appropriate medical care, Student Health Services recommends that you complete the health history information and physical examination form. These forms are also available on Murphy Online. Student athletes are required to submit these forms – they are merely recommended for all other students.
