STUDENT INSURANCE

UW Oshkosh mandates all international students carry health insurance because health care in the U.S. is very expensive when provided outside of the University's health care center.  You will be automatically enrolled in a health insurance plan and will be billed shortly after enrolling in school.  The estimated cost per year is $756.00.  Shortly after you arrive, you will be billed approximately $315.00 for medical insurance to cover the time period of August 22, 2008 until January 22, 2009.  The remaining $441.00 will cover the time period of January 22, 2009 until August 22, 2009.
