What this means to you:

• You will be automatically enrolled in RIT's student Accident and Sickness insurance plan upon your active registration. Your coverage will be activated by your registration status on a semi-annual basis and you will be billed on your student account accordingly.
• The insurance plan coverage will include benefits for medical evacuation and repatriation.
• Eligible international students who enter RIT under sponsored programs that include qualified medical insurance will be exempted from maintaining RIT's insurance. RIT's Undergraduate Admissions & Graduate Enrollment Services Offices will flag those exempted students and they will not automatically be enrolled in the plan.
• Other requests for waivers will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Special international student waiver forms may be obtained at the International Student Services office. Verification of the adequacy of your insurance coverage as it applies in the United States will be needed from the alternate insurance provider in order for the waiver request to be processed.
• Students exempted from automatic enrollment may enroll in the plan on a voluntary basis. A manual enrollment form is available for exempted individuals who wish to enroll in the plan. the cost of enrollment is listed on the enrollment form.
