All students who will be in the U.S. must complete a health record upon enrollment and submit these records prior to arrival on campus. If you plan to be at Brandeis for the spring semester, please prepare these forms before you join us in the spring. The health record forms are available at the Health Center website.

All students who will be in the U.S. are required to have adequate health insurance. Your health insurance coverage plan must be reported to the university each year. Brandeis offers a student health plan that meets state, federal and visa requirements. Students who will not be in the U.S. can waive the insurance reporting or enrollment requirement by attesting that they will not be in the U.S. during the fall semester. You will be able to purchase a prorated insurance plan for January if you will be in the U.S. at that time.

Your faculty adviser and academic administrator are two very important people to get to know. Your adviser will be able to assist you with academic questions, and your academic administrator will be able to answer most other questions about the program. Send each of them a friendly email and let them know you'd like to meet them (virtually). Ask them if there are courses you can register for prior to your arrival. If you have already registered for classes, you have access to your syllabi through LATTE. Check the syllabi for each of your classes to see what technology requirements you may have.
