On campus:

Exchange students will be housed in university housing, Clairmont Campus. Everyone has to complete an on-line application.  You can access the application by going to the housing website - www.emory.edu/housing - and clicking on Apply for Undergraduate Housing.  You can then log in and complete the application. You will be sent the log in information in an email after you have been admitted.

Once you have been approved to study in the United States and officially admitted to Emory University, you will receive your Certificate of Eligibility (DS-2019). Your Certificate of Eligibility is valid for 30 days before and 30 days after your academic program. This means that if you so desire, you can arrive in the United States one month before Emory’s semester begins and depart for your home country one month after the semester ends.

After paying the SEVIS fee, take the SEVIS receipt, the Form DS-2019, valid passport, and evidence of financial support to the nearest U.S. Embassy or U.S. Consulate to obtain your J-1 exchange visitor visa.  When you depart for the U.S. be sure to carry these documents with you. You should also carry original financial documents as proof to support the funding listed on your Form DS-2019.  A United States immigration officer will review these items at your U.S. city of arrival.

For very important information about entering the United States as an F-1 or J-1 student, please visit the following government website, www.ice.gov/sevis/students/index.htm.

The cost of quality medical care in the United States is very expensive. Without medical insurance the cost of treatment for an illness or an injury resulting from an accident can be devastating. Indeed, receiving treatment is difficult if you do not have health insurance.

Medical insurance is mandatory for ALL students at Emory University. Students must either purchase the Emory University Student Health Insurance Plan (offered by Aetna Student Health) or provide documentation of enrolment in a comparable United States-domiciled health insurance plan (a plan through a US company).

Please visit the Student Health Services website for more details regarding the student health insurance requirements.
