Health care in the United States is expensive, and health insurance is necessary to protect international students in case of serious problems. All Marquette students with F-1 and J-1 visa status are required to have acceptable year-round health insurance coverage for their entire period of studies.

Marquette has established a student insurance program for its F-1 and J-1 visa students, and you will be covered under this plan beginning with your entry to the United States with a Marquette Form I-20 or DS-2019.

Only students who have alternate insurance coverage through a government sponsor or are covered under an appropriate insurance plan of a parent or spouse in the United States can be exempt from the Marquette plan. This exemption must be approved by OIE before enrollment.
