Health Insurance Information

We require students to purchase an insurance plan which is designed especially for international students (on F-1 and J-1 visas) while studying in the USA. To purchase your insurance, click on the link below and click “Enroll” by the appropriate academic term. You may direct any questions you have about insurance or proof of coverage to iss@marshall.edu. The webpage will provide detailed information about the plan, including Summary of Benefits and Enrollment Form.

Marshall University’s Athletics department has arranged for a health insurance plan that is best suited to the needs to student athletes. If you are an international student athlete and you are responsible for purchasing your own health insurance, you may do so at the link below. Use access code RVT-51627. Be sure to send a copy of your receipt to International Student Services at iss@marshall.edu.

Students receiving receiving health insurance coverage through a government sponsorship do not need to purchase an Insurance for Students plan. Instead, provide an up-to-date financial guarantee or sponsorship letter specifying that health insurance is included and listing the range of valid dates for the sponsorship. Simply complete the Financial Certification form and respond to the Request for Information email to send us a copy of your sponsorship letter.
