Health Insurance Information

The following are the Health Insurance plan options for International Students for the 2012/13 year;

1.     Please note that all international students are required to purchase one of the two school plans for the year 2012/13, unless the student is a college athlete, then they are allowed to waive the school plan.  

The College will provide international students with the option of two plans:

A. Plan One: The traditional student health plan offered to all Scholastica students.  The Cost of this plan for the 2012/13 year will be $1154 for a 12 month period of time beginning on Aug 2, 2012 and ending on August 1, 2013 (or $577 per semester). You will be automatically signed up for this plan - see your fall 2011 bill. You have to enroll in Plan Two in order to be dis-enrolled from this plan - see "B" below.

If want to keep this plan and you are not an athlete - then you do nothing - except read #5 below.

If you want to keep this plan and add sports coverage for a college sponsored sport - voluntary athletic coverage is available if an athlete is enrolled in the traditional student health insurance policy.  Premium PER sport for basketball, football, Ice Hockey, Skiing, Soccer and Softball is $430 per athlete per sport.  The premium PER sport for all other sports and club sports is $211 per athlete per sport.  This is an annual fee for annual coverage.  The cost of this plan will be billed to your student account.
