students. A list of services provided by University Health Services includes laboratory, x-ray, pharmacy and Nutritional services. A comprehensive list may be found at http://uhs.okstate.edu. In the event a medical condition exists that is beyond the scope of the services offered, referrals can be made to a family physician or a local physician in Stillwater. Emergency services are offered by Stillwater Medical Center 24 hours a day. University Health Services is fully accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care. Health Requirements All new students are required to complete and submit Immunization records and a health history form. Oklahoma law requires that students report their compliance with certain childhood immunizations: specifically measles, mumps, rubella (MMR), hepatitis B, and meningitis. Students may submit this information electronically by logging into their health portal at https://okstateportal.pointnclick.com and authenticate using their O-key login and password. Additional information about immunization compliance may be found at http://uhs.okstate.edu/. Failure to comply may prevent future enrollment. Tuberculosis Testing International Students All international students are required to be screened for tuberculosis prior to being allowed to complete initial enrollment. This screening must be completed at University Health Services. If screening indicates that TB testing be performed, the student will be responsible for the cost of testing. No tests from outside the US will be accepted. A chest x-ray film from outside the US does NOT satisfy this requirement. Tuberculosis Testing Domestic Students Domestic students who meet any of the following criteria need to be screened for tuberculosis: • Students who have resided outside the U.S. for more than eight weeks continuously, or • Students with a health/medical condition that suppresses the immune system, or • Students with known exposure to someone with active tuberculosis disease. For more information contact: University Health Services 1202 West Farm Road Oklahoma State University Stillwater, Oklahoma, 74078 or download the form from the Internet at uhs.okstate.edu (http:// uhs.okstate.edu). Mandatory Health Insurance for Non- Immigrant Students The Oklahoma State University Board of Regents requires that non- immigrant students maintain health insurance as a condition of enrollment. The premium for the Student Health Insurance Plan will be included with tuition and fees for all non-immigrant Oklahoma State University Students. Please note that Oklahoma State University Human Resources no longer accepts insurance waivers (even for those who have already purchased their own health insurance). All international students will be enrolled in the university’s insurance. Questions regarding plan

details and pricing should be directed towards Oklahoma State University Human Resources. The insurance premium will be waived for students who provide documented evidence of health insurance coverage, including medical evacuation and repatriation, by an employer whose plan meets the standards of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Non- immigrant students employed by OSU and eligible for the OSU employee insurance plan will not be covered by the student plan. Documentation of health insurance through OSU as an employee of OSU must be presented to Oklahoma State University Human Resources. Students employed by OSU as either Graduate Teaching Assistants or Graduate Research Assistants may receive the Student Insurance Plan as part of their assistantship. Please inquire about that with the academic department in which the assistantship is located. If you have an appointment as an OSU Graduate Teaching or Research Assistant, OSU provides the student health insurance policy for you. You will be required to submit a request for waiver. Waivers are required to be submitted by the end of the fifth day of classes. Waiver forms can be found at http://iss.okstate.edu/.
