Health insurance is required of all International Students. Students may use their own policies if they meet the minimum requirements of the College (see below) and if that policy is recognized by the Insurance Commissioner of the State of Mississippi. All such policies must be submitted for verification in advance to Belhaven’s International Student Office at least one month prior to enrollment at the College. The policies must be presented in English language, and must be resubmitted annually for verification. If the policy does not meet the requirements, the student will purchase insurance upon payment of enrollment fees at the time of matriculation.
As part of your acceptance to Belhaven College, you have agreed to either purchase student insurance or provide proof that you are already covered by an adequate insurance policy. An adequate insurance policy must include:
At least $50,000 in accident and sickness coverage for hospitalization and outpatient medical care, $10,000 for medical evacuation and $7,500 in repatriation benefits with a previously approved insurance company.
This requirement is being implemented for your protection!
Students should submit mumps, measles, and rubella immunization certificates. Arrangements will be made for tuberculosis testing prior to registration.
