Healthcare and Disabilities

Medical Information Sheet

Upon your arrival, you will need to provide your Medical Information Sheet to the Health Center of the UTT: this document is extremely important!
Without it, the Health Center cannot provide you with any medical attention.
 

Health insurance

The French National Health Insurance (“Sécurité Sociale” which is a medical coverage) is compulsory in France. Different rates and conditions apply which means that the French National Health Insurance only pays back a part of people’s medical expenses:

• European students: must produce a European Health Insurance Card.
• Students from Quebec: must produce the SE401Q106 form duly validated from their home country.
• Non-European students (AND European students who do not have a European Health Insurance Card AND students from Quebec that do not have the SE401Q106 form) : You must register online to the French Health Security System upon arrival in France (free of charge). You can do it on our online services platform dedicated to the practical organisation in order to help you prepare for your arrival in Troyes. Access to this platform is only open to students that the international relations office directly handles.
• Students only coming for the "Intersemester short programs (August and Jan-Feb)": must have their own health insurance to cover their whilst in France (except students with the European Health Insurance card).
• There is a Medical Center in UTT with a Nurse, a Doctor and a Psychologist working to keep people physically and mentally well. Students can also have access to medical cares outside the university (more details on the International students guide).

WARNING : It is the sole responsibility of the students to verify that they have all necessary insurances for the whole duration of their studies at the UTT/of their stay in France.

Travel vaccinations in France

Vaccination requirements for entering France may also exist depending on your nationality; check with a French embassy or consulate in your area before you travel to France.
Make sure you are up-to-date on routine vaccines before every trip.

These vaccines include measles-mumps-rubella (MMR), diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis, varicella (chickenpox), and polio. In addition, get your yearly flu shot.

Ask your doctor what vaccines and medicines you will need before you go.
A doctor will also advise you based on where you are traveling, for how long, and in which conditions.
