Insurance Requirements for UNM International Students
Health insurance is REQUIRED for all international students for their entire stay at UNM. Students who are not covered by health insurance are in violation of UNM and U.S. policy, could be subject to tax penalties, and are financially responsible for all medical charges incurred in the U.S. Since health care in the U.S. is extremely expensive, as an international student YOU need to take these requirements seriously, think carefully about the kind of health care coverage you will need while in the U.S., and select the appropriate insurance for your situation. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO DO THIS AT THE BEGINNING OF YOUR STAY AND THROUGHOUT YOUR TIME IN THE US! Students entering new UNM programs need to show insurance proof in English to GEO before the end of the first week of classes.
Information sessions about these requirements are offered in the first week of the semester ONLY. Contact GEO for dates.
