All International students with an F-1 or J-1 visa status (including ELI students) are required to enroll in the Student Health Insurance Plan. International and ELI students are automatically enrolled in the Student Health Plan and the premium will be billed to the student’s university account.
Students must actively attend classes for at least the first 31 days for which coverage is purchased. Home study, correspondence, and online courses do not fulfill the eligibility requirements that the student actively attend classes.
International and ELI students are automatically enrolled in the Student Health Plan. You can enroll your dependents during the below Open Enrollment Periods.

The student and Spouse should use the services of the Health Center first where treatment will be administered or referral issued. Expenses incurred for medical treatment rendered outside of the Student Health Center for which no prior approval or referral is obtained will be paid at the Out-of-Network level of benefits as specified in the Schedule of Benefits. A referral issued by the SHC must accompany the claim when submitted. Only one referral is required for each Injury or Sickness per Policy Year.
