International Health Insurance Policy

If you are a Maryville College student, you will be required to carry medical health insurance for the full duration of your program, including summers. Maryville College provides students and dependents with mandatory health insurance. Please pay attention to the following rules to determine what applies to you:

  1. J-1 students or dependents sponsored by Maryville College may not opt out of our insurance plan.
  2. ISEP, and World Learning students, since you have a different J-visa sponsor, you will need to have their insurance. StudyUSA you need to have insurance approved through British Council.
  3. F-1 (or other visa-type) students may may not opt out of our insurance plan.

Cost & Coverage Dates (2022-23)

Fall: August 15. 2022 – January 9, 2023 $450 (new student rate)

Spring: January 11, 2023 – August 31, 2023 $600

*note: students who are 25 – 49 are subject to higher insurance prices.

We will enroll all J-1 (as per conditions above) and all F-1 students in this policy AUTOMATICALLY. You will pay for it upon arrival, and it will be valid from the dates above.

All students should, however, consider one’s own health condition, talk with one’s physician, and ensure that one has adequate coverage to meet one’s personal needs that may not be met by the Maryville College Health Insurance.
