International students are automatically billed for the university-sponsored student insurance program on their tuition bills.

Waivers MAY BE granted based on one of the 3 categories

Category 1:  Home Country Provides US Insurance coverage

Students may apply and request for the University insurance to be waived. However, submitting a waiver does not mean you are automatically approved for the waiver.
