International Students
All F1 and J1 students admitted Fall 2006 and thereafter are

sickness insurance plan. This insurance is mandatory for the
student’s entire enrollment at the University.
All F1 and J1 visa students admitted
prior to Fall 2006:
If you are covered by another medical insurance plan with
comparable benefits to this plan, you may request a review of your
plan for a possible refund of the charge. However, you must
prove that your other insurance will be in effect for the full
academic year August 15, 2008 to August 14, 2009. Should your
coverage terminate, your account will be billed for the St. John’s
University student health insurance. Present your proof of
equivalent coverage (a copy of current insurance card or policy) to
Student Financial Service Center before September 8, 2008. A
penalty of $50.00 will be charged to waive insurance after this
date. Submit proof of insurance by mail, fax, or email to:
