All CWU international students are required to have health insurance which meets CWU’s minimum requirements.

CWU’S MINIMUM HEALTH INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS

PROOF OF COVERAGE AND COMPLIANCE

Students must supply a proof of coverage and compliance form, along with an English version of their insurance policy and insurance card showing the period of coverage and policy type.  A hold will be placed on students accounts, and they will not be able to enroll and/or attend classes until our office verifies proof of adequate health insurance.

The period of coverage must be equal or greater than the effective dates listed below*

* CWU recommends coverage to begin on the day you start travel to CWU. The above listed start date required for insurance is the first day of class for that term, but the earlier date is recommended.
** Unless you are returning home for the entire summer term, international student insurance is still required. Please note that if you do not continue your coverage during summer term, you will have a lapse in coverage, and your waiting period for pre-existing conditions will start over.

 
The proof of coverage form, insurance policy and insurance card copies can be submitted electronically to: intl_insurance@cwu.edu.

Documents can also be hand delivered to:
