The University of West Florida requires that all UWF students and programs going abroad have insurance coverage. The details of this policy are available at UWF-Sponsored International Travel Insurance Requirement. This page explains how to get the required University of West Florida insurance for a study abroad program. |
UWF accepts insurance from multiple providers as long as the policy covers the dates of travel abroad and meets the established coverage minimums. If you have insurance that you want to use, you can download the Health and Accident Insurance Verification Form, have the form completed by your insurance agency, and email the completed form to studyabroad@uwf.edu. This is proof of the health insurance requirement.
There are many companies who provide study abroad insurance. International Student Protection offers a plan for University of West Florida students available at http://intlstudentprotection.com/get-a-quote/for-us-students-traveling-abroad/adventurer/. You must select the University of West Florida as your school and purchase coverage for the entire period you are abroad.
