Health Insurance Information

Step 2: Health Insurance Information

Valparaiso University requires all international students to carry health insurance throughout their studies. A university-provided policy will be automatically billed to your student account each semester, ensuring you have access to quality healthcare during your stay in the U.S. This policy complies with U.S. law and eliminates the need for private coverage. Exchange students follow separate guidelines, and all students must complete a health form before classes begin.

Health Insurance Information

Newly Admitted Students

The charge for health insurance will be added to your student account along with your tuition and other fees each semester (the cost will vary depending on the term). Our health insurance policy will cost approximately $150-175 per month. Please note that health insurance costs are included in your I-20 “cost of living estimate.”

You will be expected to pay your insurance bill, like your tuition, each semester before registration begins for the following term.

This policy is being enforced in compliance with the national healthcare law, which requires all adults living in the United States to have health insurance. The University, by enrolling you in this policy, ensures that you have access to good healthcare options, which can be very expensive without good insurance in the United States.

If you have already purchased a health insurance policy in anticipation of your arrival, please cancel it. You are now required to purchase the University insurance instead.

Incoming EXCHANGE Students

Your insurance requirements are different from that of new degree-seeking students or continuing students. Please click Exchange Students here or on the left navigation menu for more information.

Health Form

The Health Center will contact you by email before the start of classes to complete the required Health Form (due on the first day of classes) and for information regarding required vaccinations. Please check their website for a checklist of things to do before you arrive.

In particular, make sure that you have gotten all of the vaccines that the Valpo Health Center requires of all Valpo students.

If you have any questions, please contact the Health Center at 219.464.5060 or email .
