Health/Medical Insurance
Proof of health insurance during the academic year is mandatory for the following groups:

The College recognizes that there may be students who did not register in time during open enrollment for insurance coverage for varies reasons. The following websites are a few examples of insurance plans to help start your search in locating the right option best suited for your needs. We cannot guarantee that you will find an acceptable option in any of these plans.
If you purchase from any website, please make sure that you have read and fully understand the plan you are purchasing.
The college has no direct affiliation with any of these companies and receives no compensation.
International students should research medical coverage before residing in the United States to make sure the policy will cover accidents, emergencies, health complaints, prescription drugs, and doctors’ visits. Medical expenses are very high in the United States. The college is NOT responsible for any medical expenses incurred by the student.
NCAA regulations require student-athletes, and international student-athletes have health and accident coverage during college sports participation.
