Student Health Insurance

[All information is subject to change without notice.]

F or J visa holders enrolled in Summer classes are automatically enrolled in the student health insurance policy. All F and J students that are not registered for Summer courses do not automatically have medical coverage. If you would like to have health insurance during the Summer semester while you are not taking any classes, please enroll directly with the insurance company before Census Day.  For information on how to enroll in the Student Health Insurance plan, please click on this link How to Purchase Student Health Insurance, or contact the SHI office.

All students that are uninsured for Summer are taking a large risk. If you are diagnosed with an illness, injury or pregnancy that occurs when you are uninsured, you will not be covered for that particular condition when you enroll for Fall classes.  Your condition becomes pre-existing.  Before the insurance company will cover a pre-existing condition, one must have continuous coverage on the policy for 12 consecutive months.
