Required Student Insurance Program

Wright State University policy requires all international students and their spouse and dependents to purchase the University Student Health Insurance Plan, which includes a fee of $80.00 to provide coverage for the 30 days prior to the first quarter of enrollment. This is a mandatory fee for all new students. All students, including international students, may receive treatment for minor ailments at the Student Health Services office on campus. Depending on the nature of the illness or injury, the physician may recommend hospital care, which can be costly. To help cover hospital expenses, a Student Health Insurance Plan is offered by Wright State University at competitive rates.

Wright State University students with F or J visas are required by University policy to maintain health insurance coverage (including medical evacuation and repatriation) during their studies. Students are assessed single student coverage unless a waiver is approved by the UCIE office. Waivers will be approved only for students who have a U.S. based insurance coverage through the employer of a spouse or parent.

These companies usually do not offer the required medical evacuation and repatriation coverage. In order to comply with University regulations, students who receive a waiver of the WSU Accident and Sickness Insurance plan must purchase the Medical Evacuation and Repatriation insurance plan offered by International SOS Assistance, Inc. unless such coverage is included in their plan. Information about enrolling in this program is available from Nycia Bolds in the UCIE Office. This coverage must be purchased before a waiver can be issued.
