International Student Health Insurance
It is the policy of Hardin-Simmons University that our international student population has health insurance to provide for their healthcare needs. Additionally, HSU wants to protect our students from compromising their financial status and their education. Therefore, international students will be automatically enrolled into the HSU insurance plan via the Office for Global Engagement. The insurance fee will be added to the student’s account at the start of each enrolled semester.
For questions regarding the international insurance policy, please contact the Office of Global Engagement at globalengagement@hsutx.edu.
