8 Flight problems or arrival delays? Call INTO Colorado State University at +1-970-214-4821 Health Insurance Health Insurance Colorado State University requires that international students be covered by health insurance which meets the US Government visa, State of Colorado, and CSU requirements. For this reason, the INTO CSU Student Health Insurance Plan is automatically added to the invoices of all* INTO CSU students. (*Sponsored students, please note: If your sponsor’s health insurance coverage is known to meet the waiver requirements, you will not be charged.) Waiving Health Insurance If you have health insurance from your home country and would like to remove the mandatory INTO CSU Student Health Insurance Plan, you must show that your insurance provides equal or greater coverage than required by the State of Colorado. To see if your alternate insurance will be acceptable, please download and carefully review the International Student Health Insurance Compliance Form at: www.health. colostate.edu/pages/insurance.aspx#waiver. You must submit this form and a complete copy of your insurance policy in English, with coverage amounts listed in US dollars, to intoapplications@colostate.edu, quoting your CSU university number (found on your INTO CSU offer letter). If you have your own health insurance, and it is approved by CSU Health Network at least four weeks prior to your start date, the charge for the INTO CSU Student Health Insurance Plan will be removed from your account. Your health insurance policy must begin before you travel to the US. www.facebook.com/INTOColoradoStateUniversity Please note that most travel insurance policies purchased in your home country will not meet the waiver requirements. Dependent Coverage Please ensure you have made arrangements for full cover for any dependents traveling with you. Please send any inquiries to: intoapplications@colostate.edu.
