Health Insurance for International Students

International students are required by UWM to have adequate health and accident insurance. If you have health insurance from your home country or through an UWM Graduate Assistantship*, please bring a copy of your insurance (in English) to the ISSS office. Most international students purchase the insurance plan administered through the ISSS office.
