Health insurance is required for all full-time degree, resident, and international students with F1 and J1 visas. Your automatic enrollment and charge will show on the bill along with your tuition for your courses. You can submit a request for a Health Insurance Waiver if you have comprehensive coverage with comparable plan benefits that is valid for use in Washington, DC. All requests for a waiver must be submitted online by the deadline. For information about the Student Health Insurance and Waiver Requirements, please see the Health Insurance Waiver page. Detailed information about the process for waiving the insurance can be found on the Student Health Insurance Waiver Information page.  

The waiver and account activation (for students who want to enroll in the AU insurance) will become available after the student receives the registration confirmation email from the Program Advisor. Students who will not waive the health insurance should activate their AU health insurance account. Students who do not submit the waiver nor activate their account will be auto-enrolled in the plan, which will become active approximately four weeks after the start of the semester.

All international students must have health insurance plans with a US carrier who meets the minimum coverage requirements.

Tuition Refund Insurance

Tuition refund insurance is recommended but optional for students who pay tuition and/or other charges directly to AU. Tuition insurance acts as an extension of the University's refund policy, covering tuition payment, housing and meal fees, and other nonrefundable expenses if you withdraw for a covered reason at any time during the semester.

• The fee for the tuition insurance is paid directly to GradGuard.
• GradGuard will allow any student to enroll and select the amount of coverage they wish to purchase.
• Coverage must be purchased by the day before your classes start each semester.
• To get a quote or learn more about the tuition insurance, call Customer Service at 1-866-724-4384 or visit their website at www.gradguard.com/tuition/american

 Students who will pay tuition to their home school should contact their home school regarding tuition refund insurance before considering the AU-affiliated tuition refund plan.
