Wittenberg requires that international students, like all U.S. Students, have adequate medical insurance.

Medical costs are very high in the U.S. and we have no national health care; if you should have an accident or have to go to a hospital, even a few days stay can cost you thousands of dollars.

Wittenberg requires an International Student Insurance plan which costs around $600 per year and will cover you while you are a student. Should you be hospitalized, this insurance will pay for 80% of your bill up to $5,000 with a $100 deductible (you must pay the first $100), and then 100% up to $50,000.

If you are already covered by your parents' insurance plan, Wittenberg insurance can be waived. You must, however, prove equivalent coverage ($50,000 medical plus $5,000 repatriation) in English. Once you have arrived on campus you will be able to handle this during orientation week.

Note: Insurance through ISEP is acceptable for ISEP students.
