U-M International Student/Scholar Health Insurance Requirement and Enrollment Process
If you are an F-1 or J-1 student or J-1 visiting scholar and your Form I-20 or Form DS-2019 was issued by the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor), you must have health insurance that meets U-M requirements for yourself and any accompanying F-2 or J-2 dependents during the entire time you are a F-1 or J-1 student or scholar at the University of Michigan. In order to meet U-M requirements, your health insurance must, in the judgment of the University, provide coverage that is at least comparable to the coverage provided by the U-M International Student/Scholar Health Insurance Plan.

Enrollment Process
If your Form I-20 or DS-2019 was issued by the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor), you will attend a Required Check-In program when you arrive in Ann Arbor. During this Required Check-in, you will enroll in the U-M International Student/Scholar Health Insurance Plan through the end of your date on your Form I-20 or DS-2019 so that you can be certain that you are covered by adequate health insurance. If you are or will be eligible for health insurance benefits administered by the U-M Benefits Office, or if you would like to use other insurance coverage instead of the University of Michigan International Student/Scholar Health Insurance Plan, please refer to Alternatives to the U-M Health Insurance Plan.
