International Student Health Insurance

FGCU International Student Health Insurance Guide 

Health Insurance is mandatory for international students as required by Florida law. All international F1 and J1 students are required to provide proof of valid health insurance. Students will be automatically enrolled in the university plan or must opt out and provide proof of alternate insurance.
