Health Insurance

Full-time international students are charged for Student Health Insurance. This annual plan is mandatory for all students who are not covered by another policy which meets current J-1 Sub-Part A regulations (see regulations on Health Insurance for International Students).

Learn more about student health insurance including how to waive this insurance. If a waiver is not received, the insurance plan and associated costs will remain in effect for the full academic year, unless the student withdraws from the College.

For questions regarding international student health insurance, please contact the Director, International Student Services at international@champlain.edu.
