HEALTH AND IMMUNIZATION IMMUNIZATION

NYS LAW REQUIRES PROOF OF IMMUNIZATION

In accordance with New York State law, all entering students must show proof of immunity against measles, mumps and rubella. The law prohibits the NYU Tandon School of Engineering from allowing any student to register for classes without documented proof of immunization against these diseases.

Students must have the immunization form completed by the physician or health care provider who administered their vaccinations. Once completed, the Immunization Record should be submitted (via mail, fax or in-person) to: NYU Student Health Center Immunization Record Services 726 Broadway, Suite 336 New York, NY 10003 Phone: (212) 443-1199 Fax: (212) 443-1198 To expedite your registration, you should complete this process well in advance of your arrival at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering.

For more information or to download the forms, visit: engineering.nyu.edu/grad/health_requirements

HEALTH INSURANCE FOR US STUDENTS If you are enrolled for more than nine credits you will be automatically enrolled in the school-sponsored health insurance plan. The cost of this insurance policy will be added to your student tuition account. This insurance option is required for students who do not have insurance, whose current family health coverage is about to expire, whose health insurance is with an HMO or restricted PPO out of the area, or are international students. If you are a US citizen or permanent resident and you have private insurance with comparable coverage, you can request to waive the school plan (applying for a waiver does not automatically waive you out of the plan).

You will be contacted by the insurance carrier if there are questions regarding your waiver.

For more information or to apply for a health insurance waiver, visit: nyu.edu/shc

NYU HEALTH CENTER Students have access to many services at the NYU Student Health Center (SHC). Students will be responsible for their co-pay, co-insurance and any portion of the bill not paid by the insurance company and SHCÂ service fees.

INTERNATIONAL STUDENT ARRIVAL PREPARING FOR YOUR DEPARTURE International students should make their travel plans to New York City as soon as they receive their visa. Note that students will not be permitted to enter the United States more than 30 days before the start date listed on their I-20 or DS-2019 form.

Documents

Clothing/Climate

Keep your passport, I-20 or DS-2019, SEVIS fee receipt, admission letter, original academic records, medical and dental records, and any other important documents with you in your carry-on bags. Do not put important documents in your checked bags.

Make backup copies of all your important documents and keep them with you, in a different place than your original documents.

There are four seasons here. The summer (June–August) is hot with temperatures between 16-35°C or 61-95°F. During the winter (November– March), it can be very cold, with average temperatures between -3-11°C or 25-52°F. Be sure to pack some clothes for cold weather if you have them,and recall that there are shops near campus where you will be able to buy such items once you arrive.

Money

Personal Items

We suggest you bring traveler’s checks, a credit card and/or a small amount of US dollars when you travel from your home country. This will allow you to have cash for food, transportation, hotel and other services. We do not suggest that you bring significant amounts of currency of any kind with you on your journey to New York. It is highly recommended that you set up a bank account with an institution that has branch locations in New York City after arriving.

We encourage you to bring personal items (such as photographs and addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses for your family and friends) and cultural items (such as traditional clothing and recipes for your favorite foods) with you to New York. Other suggested items would be an international driver’s license, and marriage and birth certificates if you are coming with dependents.
