  9. Submit Meningitis & Tuberculosis Screening Documentation

    All students under the age of 22 are required to be immunized against bacterial meningitis before they enroll at UTA. You can submit your documents to Admissions, Records, and Registration. Proof of vaccination must be submitted at least 10 days prior to the official first day of classes.

    All incoming international students who are new to UTA are required to complete TB screening prior to attending classes on campus. Health Services accepts both T-Spot and Quantiferon Gold blood tests completed in the United States within the last 12 months. Mantoux/PPD/Tuberculin (TB) skin test results are not accepted.

  10. Show Proof of Health Insurance

    The University of Texas Board of Regents has passed Regents Rule 50402, which now requires only F1, F2, J1, J2 students, who are currently enrolled at UT Schools to have medical insurance compliant with the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). The UT- Student Health Insurance Plan (UT-SHIP) meets these requirements, and enrollment is automatic. Or you can show proof of a private insurance plan to be unenrolled from UT- SHIP.

  11. Submit Final Transcripts

    Don’t forget to submit an official final semester transcript to the Office of Admissions. The fastest method is electronically--sent directly from your school. If you are asked for an email address, use utaadmissions@uta.edu. However, we will accept transcripts by mail or in person. We must have your official transcript by the 12th class day of your first semester at UTA.
