WOU insurance information

International students and scholars at WOU are required to have health and accident insurance coverage for themselves and their dependents living in the United States based on Oregon Administrative Rule #574-035-005. The WOU health insurance policy must be in effect every term that a student is in student status, including summer term.   We do not want you or your family to have to bear the enormous financial burden of paying for medical care in case of illness or accident.

 

To accomplish this, the university automatically charges all WOU students each term for the Western Oregon University basic insurance coverage and all full or part time international students for the Extended Major Medical Benefits plan. Students who are not graduating spring term will have both spring and summer insurance charges posted to their account during fee payment of spring term.

 

Further information about WOU health insurance is available on the Student Health and Counseling Center insurance webpage.
