Health Insurance

Health insurance is a mandatory requirement for F-1 students in all programs. The deadline to submit proof of health insurance is no later than the program start date as shown on the Form I-20. Such students must also show proof of health insurance for the duration of their program in order to be enrolled in classes. Health insurance for international students is available from private companies. The university does not provide health insurance. Prospective and current students could choose from these private providers:
