Health Insurance for Undergraduate Programs

Undergraduate Programs

For confirmed students in the following programs, health insurance is mandatory, and the fee is included in the program tuition.

• International BA in Liberal Arts Program (year 1, 2 or 3)
• Dual Degree Program-TAU & Columbia University (year 1 or 2)
• International BA in Management and Liberal Arts (year 1 or 2)

Process for Getting Insurance

• Insurance can only be issued 1 month prior to the start date of the program (this is the insurance company’s regulations).
• All confirmed students will be contacted by our health insurance team 2 months prior to the beginning of your program.
• You will be required to submit a health declaration online. 
• We will not be able to issue your insurance until we receive this completed form.

Please note:

• For students extending their period of studies (i.e., you are enrolled as a “Final Semester” or “Additional Year” student),  extending your insurance will be at an additional fee
• The insurance does not cover pre-existing conditions.
• If you are an Israeli resident with state healthcare (Kupat Holim card in Hebrew), you will be offered the option to waive the school’s insurance and submit a waiver form to the health insurance team.
• For those of you who need proof of health insurance for visa purposes, please note that your acceptance letter mentions your program includes health insurance. This document should be enough for visa purposes. Insurance can only be issued 1 month prior to the start date; therefore it will not be available earlier.
