What insurance is required to attend OSU?

Oregon State University requires non-resident international students be covered by health insurance which meets the U.S. Government visa requirements, State of Oregon, and Oregon State University requirements. (OAR 576-025-0020) 

OSU requires all international students to enroll in the OSU International Student Insurance Plan. PLEASE NOTE:

• All Graduate Assistants .20 FTE or greater will fall under the Graduate Assistants Insurance Plan. Please refer to the Graduate Assistant Page for more information.

How do I enroll?

All International students whom are registered for at least 1 credit hour in Fall, Winter and/or Spring terms will be automatically charged for the OSU International Health Insurance. If a student has other insurance, he/she may submit a waiver and a summary of the insurance for approval no later than the last published date of open enrollment. If approved, the charge will be removed. If a student would like to add a dependent(s), he/she will need to come to the Student Health Insurance office to complete an enrollment form and add the dependent before the end of the enrollment period. Enrollment and waiver forms are available at the Student Insurance Office or the links above.

When can I enroll?

The open enrollment period officially ends the third Friday of each term. The open enrollment periods for each term for 2009-10 academic year are printed below. Students should submit a completed enrollment form to add dependents and make payment to the insurance office no later than the last published date of open enrollment in order to complete their enrollment. Students may only enroll during an open enrollment period, unless they experience a Qualifying Event such as loss of previous insurance coverage, birth/death, marriage/divorce, etc. Students should submit a completed waiver form to waive out of the OSU International plan no later than the last published date of the open enrollment period to have the charge removed from their account.

Does OSU have an insurance plan which meets the requirements? 

Yes. The OSU Student Health Insurance plan for international students provides affordable coverage for students. The cost for one term, per student is $349 or $1,047 per year.

Can family members be insured on the OSU plan?

Yes. Insurance for family members is also available at additional cost. Because family members are not students, they can not use Student Health Services on campus but they can see other doctors in the Corvallis area.
