Student Health Insurance
We highly recommend that all AAP students maintain adequate health insurance coverage to provide protection against unexpected accidents and illnesses. AAP students currently in a full-time status (registered for 3 courses or more) are eligible to purchase the university-sponsored student health insurance plan at their own expense.
International Students with F-1/J-1 Visa Status
All International Students here on an F-1/J-1 visa are required to purchase the university-sponsored student health benefits plan with Wellfleet and therefore will be automatically enrolled with an effective date of August 15. New Spring F-1/J-1 students will have an effective date of January 15.
Medical care in the United States is very expensive. In the event of an unexpected accident requiring professional care, the JHU university-student-sponsored health benefits plan will make the experience less stressful.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) are listed on the Health Insurance page of your SIS self-service account.
