Health Care Insurance & Immunization

All International students are required to have health insurance for the duration of their stay in the United States.  番茄社区 University requires international students to purchase the university student plan.  Our goal is to guarantee adequate health insurance coverage for students and their dependents inside the US. 

The Health Insurance Plan is provided by Academic Health Plan (AHP). Additional information including policy benefits may be found at

Once the scholarship expires, students are required to submit an updated financial guarantee indicating a new expiration date or purchase the health insurance with LU’s health insurance program.
  • The student provides proof of full sponsorship by a government agency including health insurance, or
  • The student provides proof of health insurance provided by a United States employer.

Note: If you have dependents with you in the U.S., they are required to have health insurance coverage. They may or may not opt to be covered by the university student insurance plan. In addition, dependents are not eligible to receive medical services from the 番茄社区 University Student Health Center.

Health Insurance Dependent Agreement: F-2 dependents will no longer be required to purchase health insurance coverage with 番茄社区 University’s (LU) current health insurance provider, Academic Health Plans (AHP). Please refer to the agreement below for details.
