SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER (SNN)<\/u>
\nMost paperwork that you have to fill out (for the University, banks, Driver\u2019s License, etc.) ask for your Social Security Number (SNN). As an international student, you will not have \u00a0a SSN unless you are employed. There are other documents that can be requested as a proof of identification. Whenever facing this problem, explain to the person that you are an international student and do not have a SSN and ask for an alternative.<\/p>\n
OPENING A BANK ACCOUNT<\/u><\/p>\n
Some banks allow international students to open a bank account without having a SSN. Two noteable banks are Wells Fargo and Bankplus. \u00a0Please note that BankPlus is right next to campus and that Wells Fargo has an office downtown (less than 5 minutes away from campus).<\/p>\n

HEALTH INSURANCE<\/u><\/p>\n
JSU students are not required to get health insurance. Nevertheless, coverage is recommended. JSU has an agreement with Associated Insurance Plan to provide coverage for international students. There are also several companies that provide coverage.<\/p>\n

If you are a non-U.S. citizen, you must meet all other requirements for obtaining an operator\u2019s license or identification card except for providing a social security card. The license or identification card will be valid as determined by the applicant\u2019s length of stay or 1 year. You must present valid immigration papers, including a birth certificate (translated by a state run university or an approved translator), passport, I-94 print out, proof of domicile and alien resident card (if you have one).<\/p>\n SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER (SNN) Most paperwork that you have to fill out (for the University, banks, Driver\u2019s License, etc.) ask for your Social Security Number (SNN).
