HEALTH INSURANCE IS REQUIRED FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

International Students: Visit the Longwood University Office of International Affairs for information on required health insurance. Click here for Traveler's Health information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

HEALTH INSURANCE: Medical services in the U.S. are not nationalized. Costs for doctors' services and hospitals may be more expensive than in other countries. Longwood University requires that international students subscribe to a health insurance plan before arriving.

The policy must provide coverage for hospitalization expenses, medical evacuation, and repatriation expenses.

IMMUNIZATION REQUIREMENTS:  Every full-time undergraduate student must have a Certificate of Immunization on file. This record must include immunizations for measles, mumps, rubella, polio, diphtheria, and tetanus. Meningitis and Hepatitis B immunizations are also required, however, waivers can be signed for Meningitis and Hepatitis B if the student chooses to not receive these immunizations. Students may not be able to register for classes without complying with these immunizations. If you have particular medical needs, you should contact  the Longwood Office of Student Health and Wellness.   http://www.longwood.edu/health.

If you already have insurance, we encourage you to check with your insurance provider to discuss issues related to coverage while at school
