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.

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