The purpose of this policy is to ensure that international students and scholars have appropriate health-care opportunities and health insurance coverage while they are enrolled as UAB students or are participating in UAB activities.

This policy describes the conditions and eligibility for the group health insurance program available to UAB employees.

UAB requires that first-time entering students, international students and scholars, and students in health-related schools provide proof of immunization against certain diseases.

A supervisor or anyone in the UAB community who becomes aware of an HIV/AIDS-related situation involving an employee, student, or visitor shall follow the guidelines stated in this policy.
