Does Skagit Valley College require health insurance?
Yes. Please note that due to the high cost of medical services in the United States, we require that students have medical insurance coverage while attending Skagit Valley College. Students will be required to purchase insurance or provide proof of home country insurance during orientation and advising. If you are purchasing insurance from Skagit Valley College, the cost of insurance coverage is $621.00 per year (nine months). At Skagit Valley College, we are interested in your well-being and, therefore, would not want the cost of medical expenses to disrupt your educational goals. Students are required to purchase or show proof of insurance for a minimum of nine months (one academic year). If you have questions about your insurance or want to purchase your insurance before you arrive, you may contact Jammie Hoffstrom in the International Program Office.
