Black Hills State University: Can an international student remove health insurance from the moving budget because a family policy exists?

DIRECT ANSWER

No premium selected from the page’s mixed-year tables; this does not assess a household policy or give medical advice.

BHSU’s retained guidance requires F-1/J-1 students to purchase the Regents health plan each semester unless a limited waiver is approved. Comparable coverage must meet the plan minimums; the waiver request is due by each semester’s first class day and approval is not guaranteed. Carry the required insurance expense until the actual waiver decision. This is medical coverage, separate from the residence property insurance addressed elsewhere.
