All international students with a visa status of F or J and students in a program of study with a requirement for proof of health insurance coverage must provide health insurance documentation prior to registration. They may purchase the 海角社区sponsored policy or opt to purchase an alternate comparable policy. No international student in F or J non-immigrant status shall be permitted to register, or to continue without providing documentation that the student, and in the case of J visa holders, that their accompanying spouse and dependents have adequate medical insurance coverage for illness or accidental injury.
