On campus housing: Exchange students have the opportunity to apply for on‐campus housing or may choose to live off campus.

U Miami advise students to apply for on‐campus housing as it can be quite difficult to arrange short term leases and transportation to campus. If you choose to apply for on‐campus housing you should do so as soon as possible. On‐campus housing is not guaranteed. Be sure to familiarize yourself with any housing contract.

Off campus housing: Assistance with off-campus housing is available through the Department of Residence Halls.  The department offers consultations, over-the-phone guidance, a housing database and roommate finder.  For more information, visit the off-campus housing website: http://www.miami.edu/sa/index.php/residential_life/off_campus/

Once all of your document have been submitted to the International Education & Exchange Programs (IEEP), they will review and send your documents to International Admissions and they will make the final decision and print the I-20.  Usually I-20s are printed within two months, however it may take longer if there are many applications. You should not make plans to go to Miami until you have received your acceptance notification.

All students are required to have health insurance coverage at the level stipulated by the University of Miami. Upon course registration, you will automatically be charged for and enrolled in international student insurance, which meets these requirements. Those students who are at UM for only one semester are billed for the appropriate rate for the fall or spring term only.

The fee for the University sponsored health insurance program covers medical, surgical, and hospital insurance for major illnesses, accidents, surgery, psychiatric emergencies, and for off‐campus emergency room care. Additional information on the policy benefits, exclusions and limitations is available here.

Please carefully read the insurance brochure and direct any inquiries to studenthealth@miami.edu or (305)284‐ 5921.
