Please note that many study abroad programs require that you enroll in that program’s international health insurance in addition to the WU health insurance. WU will not waive the required WU student health insurance in such cases, resulting in dual coverage. While we recognize the added financial burden this may cause, exceptions to the policy are not possible, and in times of urgent medical needs the extra coverage has proved beneficial.
