International Students

West Virginia University requires that international students have health insurance while attending WVU. If you currently have insurance that is comparable to the WVU Health Insurance (Aetna), you are required to complete a waiver by September 30, 2011. If you have insurance and do not complete a waiver application, you will be automatically enrolled in the Aetna Plan and the fees will be added to your student account. Waiver applications WILL NOT be processed after September 30, 2011 – there will be NO exceptions.

The U.S. federal government also requires that those visiting this country (both students and their dependents) are on a J-1 or J-2 visa.

Waiver Form must be completed by September 30th, 2011.
