Health Insurance
While Slippery Rock University does not require students to carry health insurance, coverage for benefits through a health insurance plan is important to safeguard your health, and compliments services available through the Student Health Center. All international students on an F-1 or J-1 Visa must purchase medical insurance coverage for the duration of study.
Consideration of the health plans available would be beneficial to a student in the following situations:
- No longer eligible for benefits under their parents plan
- Current health plan is restricted to home area only (HMO)
- Students who currently do not have health insurance.
