All SHSU enrolled International students in the United States with F-1 and J-1 student visa classifications are subject to the mandatory health insurance requirement per Student Affairs policy SA-01, Student Health Insurance Coverage. All registered students will be enrolled in the health insurance plan and plan fees will be added to their semester fee statement.

An International student with an equivalent US-based government or employer sponsored plan may submit a waiver to have that plan reviewed for the required insurance coverage.

Dependents of International students may be voluntarily enrolled as a dependent of the primary covered SHSU student.
