Health Services Insurance Information and Requirements
Health Insurance is mandatory for all residential and international students.
Adelphi University is pleased to provide a comprehensive student health insurance plan that complies with the federal mandates under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and New York State Mandates. The University requires all international students to be insured by this plan to ensure its students are adequately protected for their time here. The basis of this guideline is due to some plans in the market place that have certain limitations that students may not be aware of, including a lack of consumer protections as well as instances where policies that are deemed short term duration plans often require the policyholder to renew the plan either monthly or quarterly. It has been found in some instances that such policies have lapsed and students have become uninsured with or without the students’ knowledge.
To help reduce these administrative issues and potential access to care issues, the University provides this sponsored student health insurance plan to ensure Residential and International students meet the insurance requirement while also having a plan that is in compliance with all aspects of the Affordable Care Act, including but not limited to Benefits, Customer Protection, underwriting guidelines and State approval by the Division of Insurance for which the policy is filed. These standards are considered as a best practice and held in high regard among peer institutions of higher education.
All matriculated Adelphi International (AUI) students studying at any Adelphi campus or center, with the exclusion of sponsored students, must be on the Adelphi student health insurance plans and waivers will not be granted.
