Group medical insurance is available to students on a voluntary basis and may be obtained any time during the term. The university strongly recommends that students avail themselves of these coverages where appropriate or have coverage from some other source. Health insurance coverage is mandatory for international students. International students must purchase or prove coverage of comprehensive medical insurance before being allowed to register for classes. The insurance must be paid in full in advance and be in effect for the entire academic year.
Information concerning all insurance programs is available from the University Health Center, Bird Building, 828-227-7640.
