Each year St. John's University engages in a comprehensive benefit review and premium negotiation process for the Student Health Insurance Plan. The primary goal is to provide students with a cost-effective health insurance program with quality benefits. After much review and analysis, the plan will continue with Aetna for the 2025-2026 policy year.
 

ELIGIBILITY & ENROLLMENT

International Students - enrollment is mandatory for all international students with a current passport and student Visa (J-1 or F-1) who are temporarily located outside their home country and are actively engaged in education or educational research activities at St. John’s University. Internet classes and television (TV) courses do not fulfill the eligibility requirements that the covered student actively attends classes. Students taking only on-line classes are not eligible for school insurance. The University will determine eligibility based on your registration status.

All eligible international students are automatically enrolled in the University’s student plan based on their registration status each semester and are not required to take action.
