Health Insurance for International Students

Insurance Requirement

Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ requires all international students (F-1 and J-1 student visa holders) to have sickness and accident insurance. The cost of health care, especially hospitalization, is very expensive in the United States. Even a short illness can have a high cost associated with it. Therefore, you must have health insurance to protect yourself from the effects of these costs.

Automatic Enrollment & Waiver

Each F-1 and J-1 international student at Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ is automatically enrolled in the program and billed for the cost unless the insurance waiver form is submitted by July 1 each year. 

To waive insurance, you must demonstrate that you have U.S. coverage that is similar to Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ's plan and submit the waiver by July 1. How to submit the waiver:
