Student Health Insurance

Health insurance is highly recommended for all students. The University of Hawaiʻi Medical Plan is designed for students and is generally less expensive than most other health insurance plans. Applications may be picked up from the Health Services Office (Campus Center 212), or downloaded from www.hmsa.com/portal/student/ or mailed to you by calling (808) 974-7636.

International students on non-immigrant visas must provide proof of adequate accident and health insurance, carry such insurance each semester, and present proof when picking up their registration materials. A special rider to cover additional accidents and illness, repatriation, and medical evacuation back to the student’s home country can be purchased for a low fee.
