Health Requirements and Services
This page introduces health requirements and services for UDM students.
Health requirements for UDM students
If you are a "residential" student (i.e. you are living on campus), or if you are an international student, UDM requires you to have a recent tuberculosis (TB) test on file. Also, all residential students must carry either enroll in student health insurance, or waive the insurance.
TB test
- UDM requires that a recent tuberculosis (TB) skin test be on file for all new incoming residential (dorm) students and international students
- Chest x-ray is required if skin test is positive
- If already tested for TB, test must have been performed in the United States or Canada within the last 12 months (1 year)
- Send in the TB skin test postcard!
- TB skin tests can be done at the UDM Health Center (see below)
Insurance
- UDM requires all residential (dorm) students to carry health insurance
- All residential students are required to either enroll in or waive the student health insurance by the deadline. See the Health Insurance page for details.
- If you do NOT waive the insurance, you will be billed for the student insurance, regardless of other insurance coverage (e.g. parent's insurance)
- Non-residential students (not living in a UDM dorm) can also purchase the insurance if needed
