All Lehigh International Students on an F-1 or J-1 Visa are not permitted to drop coverage by submitting a waiver form unless you have parents or a spouse/domestic partner living and/or working in the U.S. and are covered under a family plan that's ACA-compliant, you are sponsored to study at Lehigh by your home country or U.S. government that provides you with an insurance plan, or you have dependents at Lehigh and have a private family insurance plan that's ACA-compliant. International students should contact Lehigh’s Office of International Students & Scholars (610) 758-4859 to verify if you qualify for a waiver.
All Lehigh students who are required to have insurance will automatically be charged the associated premium of $2,509 on your student bill. You are strongly encouraged to waive by July 1st to have a credit on your July billing statement.
If you complete the waiver prior to the fall charges being applied to student account, the waiver credit will be added to your account after the fall semester charges are posted.
