The insurance requirement states students must have continuous coverage continuous coverage for their full program at UWF including semester breaks and summer. F1 students must have coverage in summer, even if they plan to travel home during a break. Summer insurance will be charged with Spring insurance.

All F1 students will be required to pay the Spring/Summer insurance fee if they are enrolled in Spring semester programs at UWF.

Coverage for semester breaks and summer is required to maintain insurance compliance. 

If an F1 student is scheduled to graduate in the Spring semester, they will still be responsible for the full Spring/Summer insurance amount. This is to provide coverage for students who: 

• may not graduate and have to extend their Form I-20 for additional time to complete their program requirements. 

• need insurance if they will continue at UWF in a new program in Fall after Spring Graduation.

• need insurance coverage until they secure insurance through their OPT employer. 

Students who complete their program at the end of the Spring semester may submit a request directly to LewerMark to cancel their remaining summer coverage and receive a refund of the remaining insurance fee directly from LewerMark. 
If requesting cancelation of Summer coverage, the end of insurance coverage cannot be before May 15.
