If admitted, you will be sent an official letter certifying the fact that you have been approved for admission and informing you about dates for registration and the beginning of the term. You should not make plans to leave your country until you have received a letter of acceptance and visa documents from the University division to which you seek admission. Each foreign student is required by U.S. Immigration Laws to register as a full-time student each semester, except the summer term.

Medical insurance is mandatory for international students at Emory. All international students automatically will be enrolled in the “Accident and Sickness Insurance for Emory University Students” plan unless the student shows that he or she has equal coverage prior to his or her registration. Once accepted to Emory, each student will receive further information about the mandatory insurance regulation from the International Student and Scholar Programs Office.
