Insurance Requirement:

when should I enroll for insurance?
ENROLL BY START OF TERM: LewerMark International Student Insurance
Newly Admitted Students: Pay for medical insurance once you have been admitted and before registration. If you are applying for an F-1 visa, purchase medical insurance after you have received approval of your F-1 visa.
Current Students: Pay for medical insurance prior to your enrollment date to avoid having a hold placed on your student record.
International students can purchase their medical insurance by credit card and enroll online.
I NEED TO SEE A DOCTOR:
1. It is recommended that International Students first visit the Student Health Services for general medical care. The staff at the Student Health Services will provide basic treatment of acute illnesses and injuries.
2. For any surgical or medical problems, which are outside the scope of the Student Health Services, find a doctor that is in-network or visit a CVS Minute Clinic.
3. In non-life threatening situations, when an appointment is not available, but you would like to be seen by a doctor right away, visit an in-network Urgent Care:
