International Student Health Insurance Requirement

Background

All international students ("J" or "F" status) are required to maintain health insurance as a stipulation of their visa with US Citizenship and Immigration. These students are automatically billed for the university-sponsored student insurance program on their tuition bills.

International students with certain scholarships that provide health insurance will not be required to enroll in the U of L insurance program.  A list of these scholarships will be available at the start of the semester and before other short-term programs begin at the International Center.

Waivers MAY BE granted based on one of the 3 categories:

Category 1:  Home Country Provides US Insurance coverage

Category 2:  Fully Sponsored by US or Other organization which provides your health insurance

Category 3:  Coverage through a US plan provided as an employee benefit

For detailed requirements for each category view the International Waiver Requirements.
