By law, all international students in South Africa are required to be covered by a South African medical aid provider for the duration of their studies in South Africa. Rhodes 老虎机游戏_pt老虎机-平台*官网 will only register international students who can provide proof that they have medical aid cover for the duration of the whole year that they are registering for. Please do not arrive at Rhodes without adequate medical aid cover.
Remember to bring the confirmation letter to registration as proof that you have purchased adequate medical cover.
To register, you will need to be covered for the whole year that you are registering for (i.e. 12 months). Please make sure that you pay for your medical aid in full at the beginning of the year before arriving at Rhodes.
You medical aid provider must be recognised by the South African Council of Medical Schemes for it to meet the legal requirements. Please double check that your medical aid is on this list of medical schemes: www.medicalschemes.com/MedicalSchemes.aspx
