Why are waivers limited?
Waivers are limited to assure that non-immigrant students at TTU maintain adequate insurance coverage to pay for potential expenses arising from unexpected medical issues. Otherwise, such expenses could jeopardize the student’s ability to cover her/his expenses while in the visa status, as well as make the student vulnerable to becoming a “public charge”(which is a factor precluding qualifying for a non-immigrant visa) while in the United States.
