International Student and Scholar Health Insurance
Health insurance is required for all F-1 and J-1 students and scholars at St. Cloud State.
This requirement protects and provides a health plan against financial hardship resulting from the need for medical attention.
The United States does not have a national health care system available to non-immigrant students/scholars; therefore, the cost of medical care is the responsibility of the student/scholars.
Because medical costs in the United States are high, St. Cloud State requires new and transferring F-1 and J-1 international students and J-1 scholars to purchase the Minnesota State system's Student Health Plan.
Covered medical services provided at the on-campus Medical Clinic are paid at 100 percent through United Healthcare. (F-1 and J-1 international students only)
