Additional Requirements

1. Health Insurance

Medical health insurance/coverage is required before international students can begin classes. After receiving an acceptance letter and arriving in the U.S., health insurance must be purchased. Proof of health insurance must be provided to Mr. M.J. Mao prior to the first day of school.

We recommend students use ISO Insurance. ISO offers a BASIC PLAN and a PLUS PLAN, both at affordable costs.

Students who choose to purchase other health insurance plans must have a minimum coverage that matches the ISO basic plan.

2. Medical Requirements

Students will not be allowed to attend classes unless their medical paperwork is complete. All medical records need to be clearly identified in English. The options for providing immunization records are listed below:

• California School Immunization Record and Requirements Form
  The California School Immunization Record must be filled out and signed by your doctor.

• Submit ALL pages of your vaccination history, with your name and date of birth clearly listed. Please note that hand-written records are not acceptable. For students who have hand-written immunization records, please complete a translation at your local custom, and provide the school with a digital copy.

3. Identification

Students are required to provide the following documents to the registrar prior to the first day of school.

• Copy of form I-20 signed by both student and parents/guardians
