1. Seat Reservation Deposit: A first step toward securing your seat after being accepted is to submit your seat reservation deposit. The deposit is applied toward your tuition and is non-refundable.
2. Immigration and Visa Information: Visit the Passport and Visa page.
3. Immunizations/Medical Records form must be filled out and signed by your physician. You must then email it to admissions@uhsa.edu.ag. Ensure your physician has signed it before you upload it, and please retain an additional copy of your immunization records. You will need it when you begin your clinical rotations, and we cannot return your original form to you once you submit it.
4. ​COVID-19 Vaccination: The University strongly encourages all students to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, including CDC-recommended boosters. While vaccination is not required for entry into Antigua & Barbuda, many affiliated clinical teaching hospitals mandate it for clinical training. Unvaccinated students may face significant challenges, such as increased costs, delays, or even obstacles to meeting graduation requirements.
5. Health Insurance: All students should have comprehensive health coverage and may elect to buy a student health insurance policy provided by Cigna should they require it. Students may provide Proof of Existing Insurance Coverage; otherwise, students can purchase insurance below before starting classes.
