International Students
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.
