The United States does not have a social system for health insurance. Therefore you must be covered by health insurance. SIU offers health insurance for most registered students.
Policies are also available for dependents.
Back to Top Immunization All newly enrolled students, as mandated by a law in the state of Illinois, must have an immunization from completed before the end of the first semester of attendance. If the above immunizations have not been obtained in the past, or a doctor cannot verify that any or all of the shots have been given, then you must contact the SIU Health Service in order to make appointments to receive the required immunizations. Please remember that this law is for your well-being. If you do not comply with this law, you will not be able to register the next semester, and your registration for your current classes will be canceled. Memorial Hospital at 404 W. Main Street provides emergency care when the Health Service is closed.
