The College of Wooster is pleased to offer insurance through Wellfleet Student Insurance. This insurance is offered to all international students and global nomads (who qualify). International students are automatically enrolled. Global nomads must contact Terri Brigham in the Business Office if you would like to join the Wellfleet plan. Login to your Wellfleet Account or contact the ISS Office for additional information.
Why do you need health insurance?
Health care costs in the U.S. are very high. A clinic visit may cost $200, an emergency room visit will cost at least $500, and an average daily hospital charge is at least $2500, not including the cost for such itemizations as medicine, surgery, and/or lab work.
All international students at The College of Wooster are required to carry the Wellfleet Student Insurance. This plan is designed to supplement the services available at the Longbrake Student Wellness Center on campus.
Costs
The plan costs $971 for fall and $955 for spring semesters (pricing for 2025-26), which will automatically be added to your student invoice (or added upon enrollment for global nomads). The coverage will be valid from July 1 – June 30, so summer coverage is included. There is no refund should you return home over the summer.
