Student Health Insurance Requirements
Health insurance is required as a condition of enrollment for all full-time, degree-seeking students, as well as for all international students and visitors sponsored on an F-1 or J-1 visa by WFU. Please follow the process detailed on the Student Health Insurance Program website.
More information about the health insurance requirements for international students can be found on the International Students Health Insurance Requirements page. You can also email the Student Health Insurance Office at sip@wfu.edu if you have questions.
