All International students (including exchange students) are required to have health/medical insurance and must purchase the health insurance plan offered by UCC’s providers, Guard.me International Insurance. It is possible you will be arriving in Jamaica before the coverage begins so you are advised to purchase a travel insurance policy before your arrival in Jamaica. The cost for coverage is US$750 per annum.

Students are all required to submit a medical record including immunization records and have your physician sign and complete the UCC Health Form in English. This form should be sent in along with your application. Please visit this site for the list of routine and recommended vaccines before travelling to Jamaica:  http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/destinations/traveler/none/jamaica.
