with your personal pick up from the airport. We suggest students fly into the Plattsburgh
International Airport or the Burlington International Airport. Please note that we do not
pick up students from New York City, Boston, or Montreal. We also provide transport-
ation from the bus and train terminals in Plattsburgh, NY. In order to meet your travel
needs, we require that you complete the following form: International Arrival Form

Step 4: Complete and Submit Health Form and Immunization Records


You must complete and submit the following form: Health Form and Immunization Records.
Please submit the completed form to the address noted on the form.

Step 5: Purchase Health Insurance

Purchase a health insurance plan through HTH Worldwide ( http://www.hthstudents.com/ ) at a cost of roughly $540 for 9 months, and provide documentation of this prior to arrival on campus.



Step 6: Send Final Transcripts / Certificates
