Health
The Student Health Center will send you
medical history and physical exam
forms to be completed and returned prior to enrolling at UCI. Students under
19 years of age when they enter UCI are required by State law to provide
proof of full immunization/immunity against the hepatitis B virus. These
forms are also available for download. Go to
www.shs.uci.edu and select
"Admissions Health Requirements."
HEALTH INSURANCE coverage is a non-academic condition of enrollment
for all undergraduate students. One insurance plan available to students is
USHIP, UCI's Undergraduate Student Health Insurance Plan. Its premium is
already included as part of your student fees. If you have comparable,
verifiable insurance coverage, you will be able to waive the health insurance
fee by completing a waiver form on the Web. Information detailing insurance
benefits and instructions on how to do that will be mailed to all students
prior to the fee payment deadline. You may also read about this on the
Student Health Center website. Go to
www.shs.uci.edu and select
"USHIP Waiver."
Disability Services
NEW UCI STUDENTS WHO HAVE PERMANENT DISABILITIES and who want to
register with and/or request disability accommodations from the
Disability Services Center (DSC) must submit professional documentation.
Adequate documentation must be received by DSC before any accommodation
request can be considered. "Permanent disability" encompasses physical,
learning, and psychological disabilities; being legally blind or partially
sighted; being deaf or hard-of-hearing; or having Attention Deficit
Disorder.
NEW STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES MAY QUALIFY FOR PRIORITY REGISTRATION
on WebReg. To qualify for this, DSC must receive adequate disability
documentation by May 21. Disabled students who need accommodations are
urged to submit adequate documentation at least three weeks before the start of
classes (September 21). Failure to do so may delay or preclude provision
of certain accommodations for the quarter. Call or visit DSC for information
about documentation requirements, services, and accommodations. Contact
