( Please Note: A copy of your Financial Guarantee letter/ Sponsorship letter and copy of your health insurance information must be submitted to Rhonda Baxter (at the 91ÌÒÉ« Student Health Center) before classes begin each semester.) All necessary documents can be submitted via email to: studentinsurance@southalabama.edu.
2. You have American group health insurance coverage under a US employer either as an employee or as a dependent. In this case, you must provide proof that medical evacuation and repatriation benefits are also included on your policy.

Waiver Applications must be received before classes begin each semester. If the necessary documents are not received before classes begin, the student will be responsible for all unpaid International Insurance fees billed to their student account. This fee cannot be removed from your student account.
