2. English proficiency test scores
3. Copy of passport
4. Bank statement indicating the equivalent of at least $12,609 USD for one semester or $25,168 USD for two semesters

An admissions decision cannot be determined until all official documentation has been received. Only applications submitted by the home institution will be processed.

Health Insurance

Exchange students are required to purchase international health insurance from UIW only. Other insurance will not be accepted.

Proof of Meningitis Vaccine

Texas State law (SB 62) mandates that all entering students under the age of 22 provide a certificate signed by a health care provider or an official immunization record verifying that a student has been vaccinated against bacterial meningitis or has received a booster within five years of enrolling at the university.

Students must submit proof of the meningitis vaccine prior to arriving to campus and no later than 10 days prior to the start of the semester. Vaccine records should be emailed to registrar@uiwtx.edu and must include the student's full name, date of birth (mm/dd/yy) and student ID number.

Failure to submit prior to arrival will result in dorm assignment and registration being paused.
