Health Insurance Requirements for Full-Time International Students

Federal and state laws require that international students (F-1 and J-1) maintain adequate health insurance while attending the University of New Haven. The University student health insurance plan is mandatory for all full-time (undergraduate and graduate) international students and coverage cannot be waived.

Please note: An international student studying through government or financial sponsorship like SACM will have the charge waived for them automatically.
