Verification Process

Each semester, the Office of International Programs will ask students to provide copies of their valid health insurance. Students must have health insurance that provides coverage for at least ONE SEMESTER MINIMUM.

Health insurance must be turned in via email to oip@nsuok.edu or drop off at the OIP during regular office hours. Copies will be due within 2 weeks after the beginning of classes each Fall and Spring Semester. 

  • NOTE: If the student turns in a health insurance copy for the academic year (2 semesters), they will not be required to turn in another copy the following semester. Verification will be required the following year. 

Students who fail to provide health insurance within two weeks of the start of the semester and/or provide health insurance with inaccurate/lack of information will result in a placement a hold on their student account. Holds will be lifted upon turning in health insurance.
