Student and Scholar Services
The Office of International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) welcomes international
students, scholars and their families in an effort to promote a culturally
diverse learning environment and to enrich the quality of teaching and research
at FAU. The ISSS provides essential services and programs, including tax seminars,
immigration workshops and cultural programs as well as counseling on immigration,
academic, social, cultural and personal concerns. In addition, the office
provides International Student Orientations to welcome new students. Attendance
is required at these sessions.
The ISSS has a close working relationship with numerous international student
cultural organizations on campus who assist with welcoming new students and
fostering cross-cultural appreciation. Each year the ISSS co-sponsors a Festival
of Nations in collaboration with the various international student cultural
organizations. Students are encouraged to get involved. Call ISSS for information
at 561-297-3049 or visit its website.
Check-In Procedure: (For "IS" HOLD
clearance to register) All students who are in non-immigrant
status (those without legal permanent residency, the "green
card") are considered international students. Each semester,
international students who are in F-1 status must come
to ISSS to complete the check-in procedure prior to registration.
Students should be prepared to show their passport, I-94
card and I-20; provide their current U.S. and home country
addresses; and provide a valid email address. Proof of
major medical health insurance is also required in order
to register. For detailed information, contact the ISSS.
International Student Health
Insurance Requirements: All students who are in
non-immigrant status (those without legal permanent residency,
the "green card") are considered international students.
The state of Florida and FAU require that all international students maintain
health insurance coverage to help defray the costs of catastrophic medical
care. State of Florida Board of Education regulations
prevent FAU from allowing students to register until they have complied with
the insurance requirement. The University is unable to make exceptions.
Annual insurance is required for 52 continuous weeks beginning on August 20
each academic year. New and returning students who enter the University for
the spring or summer terms must have prepaid and continuous coverage through
August 20 of that year.
Note: J-1 visa students, scholars and dependents
with DS 2019 forms are required to purchase the University-approved policy
for themselves and all accompanying dependents for the duration of their form
DS 2019. Alternate policies are not accepted. For information, contact
the ISSS.
FAU International Student Health
Insurance Policy: A University-approved policy
is available for purchase from the insurance representative
located in the ISSS office or online at www.insuranceforstudents.com.
Alternate Insurance Policies: Students
are advised not to purchase insurance prior to arrival
without verifying that it is acceptable. Students other
than those on J visas (exchange visitors) must request
permission to use an alternate policy. In this case, the
insurance company must complete the Alternate Insurance
Compliance form and fax it directly to the ISSS fax number
listed on the form for evaluation. The policy must meet
the minimum requirements established by FAU and the Board
of Trustees (BOT). Policies are reviewed based on the information
that each insurance company provides on the Alternate Insurance
Compliance form. Allow sufficient time for processing.
Note: In
compliance with FAU, state of
Florida and U.S. Department of
State requirements, the following
rule is in place: Failure to
maintain the required insurance
will result in cancellation of
all classes without a refund.
All J-visa exchange visitors,
including students, scholars
and their dependents who fail
to maintain the required insurance
for the specified period will
be terminated from Florida Atlantic
University's Exchange Visitor
Program.

Student and Owl Family Programs Office is to provide programs and services
that facilitate the transition of new students into the University, to prepare
new students for the University's educational opportunities and to integrate

and highly trained individuals who ease the transition for incoming students
and their families. By sharing their knowledge of campus resources and experiences
at FAU, they ensure a smooth transition for new FAU students.

Office
for Students with Disabilities
The Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD) is in compliance with Section
504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, and the Americans with Disabilities
Act of 1990. The mission of the OSD is to support students with documented disabilities
in their pursuit of equity and excellence in education. The OSD works with
FAU faculty and staff to ensure that reasonable accommodations are provided
to allow this population of students an equal opportunity to learn in the classroom
setting and have access to all areas of FAU campuses. The
OSD fosters student self-advocacy and the development of compensatory skills
that support independent learning.
Numerous adaptive technological aids and human support services are available
to help meet the needs of students with varying disabilities. Among the adaptive
technology aids are computers with screen readers and speech-recognition systems,
magnification devices, audio recorders, Braille writers, wheelchair-accessible
desks, tactile aids and FM systems. The support services include assistive
technology training, note-taking services, sign language/C-Print
services, adaptive testing accommodations, Learning Strategies Training and an active student organization. In addition to providing academic support services and accommodations to students with disabilities, the OSD also provides meaningful volunteer opportunities for all students.
Self identification and registration with the OSD is at the student's option
and is not mandatory. However, in order to ensure receiving authorized academic accommodations
from FAU due to a disability, the student must register with the OSD. In order
to complete the registration process, it is the responsibility of the student
with a disability to provide the OSD with appropriate written documentation
from a licensed professional in the field concerning the specific diagnosis
and anticipated academic limitations. This enables the OSD to provide the appropriate,
reasonable accommodations necessary to ensure access to the student's educational
program, as well as to assist the student in developing the necessary compensatory skills needed to be successful after graduation. All disability-related records are kept confidential and are not released
without the student's written permission. Students interested in volunteering
with the OSD are also welcomed.

Government
Student Government (SG) is the representative association of the student body
of Florida Atlantic University. It is also a department within the Division
of Student Affairs. Like the U.S. Government, SG is divided into three branches:
the Executive, the Legislative and the Judicial. It also includes an independent
Elections Board, Graduate Student Association, Homecoming Committee and student
media outlets.
The Executive Branch consists of the student body president,
vice president, Boca Raton governor, Broward governor,
Jupiter campus governor, Treasure Coast campus governor
and their staffs. The president represents the student
body to the administration, Florida Legislature and surrounding
communities. It is the responsibility of the executive
branch to work on initiatives that improve campus life.
The student body president, vice president and campus
governors are elected in the spring for one-year terms.
The Legislative Branch is divided among four campuses:
Boca Raton, Broward, Jupiter and Treasure Coast. There
is a university-wide student senate and four campus-based
houses of representatives. It is the responsibility of
the legislative branch to maintain statutes that enable
self-governance, allocate funding from the activity and
service fee budget and provide a check and balance for
executive programs. Legislators are elected each fall for
one-year terms as well.
The Judicial Branch is composed of the Chief Justice and
four campus-based associate justices. The Student
Court hears cases regarding due process and statutory violations.
It also reviews student government statutes for legislation
that may be unconstitutional, according to the SG Constitution. Members
of the Student Court are also trained hearing officers
of the Student Affairs Student Conduct Board.
SG also includes the Student Government Accounting and
Budget Office (SGAB) and works closely with the Office
of Student Involvement and Leadership to support student-centered
activities and services.

leadership, accounting and government studies who support
Student Government by assisting with the student coordination
of university-wide and campus-based initiatives, providing
training and advisement.

Eligibility for Health Care
Policy
A.
Eligibility for Florida Atlantic
University Students
Eligibility for care for students is based on registration and the payment
of tuition, which includes the mandatory per-credit-hour student health fee
for the semester.
1. New FAU students
New FAU students become eligible for Student Health Services beginning the
first day of classes of their first semester at the University. (However,
see Section 2 for students who are required to be on campus prior to the
first day of classes.)
2. Students Required to be
on Campus Early
Students who are required to be on campus before classes start (i.e., students
registered for and participating in the University orientation programs, students
living in the residence halls prior to the first day of class, residence hall
RAs and intercollegiate athletes required to be on campus for preseason training
but not yet enrolled) are eligible for health care, provided they are able
to present evidence of their registration/student/athlete status or their University
housing agreement.
3. Currently Enrolled or
Continuing FAU Students
An enrolled FAU student is eligible for care from the first day of the semester
until the first day of the following semester (in short, for the semester enrolled
and the break weeks following the semester enrolled).
B. Eligibility for Non-Students
1. Individuals who have graduated from FAU are
not eligible for services at Student Health.
2. Students who have Withdrawn
from the University
a. Some students withdraw from the University while they are in the midst of
medical care at Student Health Services. To facilitate the transition of care
from Student Health Services to another health care provider, students who
have withdrawn will be eligible for one additional visit at Student Health
Services. This visit will allow the SHS provider(s) to complete termination
of treatment and make referral arrangements, if necessary, for off-campus medical
follow-up care.
b. Withdrawn students, whether in the midst of care at
the time of withdrawal or not, may choose to receive care
for the remainder of the semester from which they withdrew
by participating as "visitors" (see below).
C. Visitor Participation
Student Health Services has established a "visitor" status to allow individuals
to obtain regular care through Student Health Services. The criteria for visitor
status are set forth below. Visitors will be charged a visitor fee. The
fee exists in recognition of the fact that enrolled FAU students pay a mandatory
Student Health Fee as part of their tuition. The following individuals are
eligible to participate as visitors:
1. Persons Eligible to Participate
as Visitors
a. Off-semester Students
Off-semester students are individuals who are not currently enrolled but were
enrolled in the semester immediately prior. For purposes of this policy, the
summer 1 semester or summer 2 and 3 semesters combined will count as one semester.
These students are eligible to participate as Visitors one semester in duration
only following each registered semester.
b. Off-semester Students Enrolled in the University-Sponsored
Insurance Plan
Off-semester students who have purchased the University-sponsored insurance
plan for a full academic year, but are not currently enrolled, may continue
to participate as visitors (and are required to pay the Visitor Fee) for the
balance of time remaining under that specific policy. These students must present
evidence to Student Health Services that they are enrolled in and covered by
a valid University-sponsored insurance plan(s) for a full academic year.
c. Students who have withdrawn from the University may
participate as visitors only for the semester from which
they have withdrawn.
d. Students enrolled in the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine/FAU Medical Education Program.
e. Visiting Scholars who have purchased the University’s Student Insurance Policy.
f. Students in the University’s Intensive English program who have purchased the University’s Student Insurance Policy.
2. Payment of the Visitor Fee
The Visitor Fee will be paid in the FAU Pharmacy. Upon payment, the Pharmacy
cashier will issue a receipt. This receipt must be presented at Student Health
Services. The Visitor
Fee may be initiated at any time during a given semester. However, the fee
is not prorated and must be paid in full prior to the first visit.
3. Payment for Fee-for-Service
Charges
A student participating as a visitor must pay the University cashier for all
fee-for-service charges when the service is rendered. Fee-for-service charges
include, but are not limited to, office visit charge and charges for laboratory
tests, treatments, immunizations and medications.
Confidentiality Policy
All medical records in Health Services are kept strictly confidential. Release
of this information is only made with the written consent of the student,
upon subpoena of the court and in the interest of the health of the community.

Immunization Policy
Pursuant to Florida Board of Governors Regulation 6.001(9), prior to registration,
each student accepted for admission at Florida Atlantic University must submit
a signed FAU Immunization Form. Florida Atlantic University requires
documented proof of immunizations to measles and rubella. In addition,
pursuant to Florida Board of Governors Regulations 6.007, all students must also provide documentation of vaccinations
against meningococcal meningitis and hepatitis B or provide a signed waiver
for each declined vaccination. Refer to the FAU Immunization
Form for more information.
Meningococcal meningitis is
a rare bacterial infection of the membranes surrounding
the brain and spinal cord. It can cause severe neurological
damage, loss of limbs or death. The vaccine Menactra protects
90% of its recipients against four of the five stereotypes
of bacteria that cause this form of meningitis. Protection
is believed to last for a minimum of eight years. People
with a history of latex allergy, Guillain-Barré syndrome
or previous serious allergic reaction to Menactra should
not receive the vaccine. Pregnant women must consult with
their physicians prior to receiving Menactra.
Hepatitis B is
a serious viral liver disease that can lead to chronic
liver disease, liver cancer or, rarely, death. Hepatitis
B vaccine is believed to confer life-long immunity in most
cases. People with a history of life-threatening reaction
to baker’s yeast or to a previous dose of hepatitis B vaccine
should not receive the vaccine. Pregnant women may be vaccinated.
Receiving the Vaccines
Students interested in receiving these vaccines prior to coming to the University
should call their physician or clinic for more information. Students who
