U.S. Immigration regulations now require that international visitors and their dependents have a medical insurance policy protecting you in the event of major illness or injury. An American insurer is preferred. To insure that proper coverage is obtained, Clarkson University highly recommends the Enriched Medical Insurance Program defined in B. below. This Enriched Accident and Health Insurance Program is available upon your arrival at Clarkson through the Division of Research Office. The cost for this insurance depends on the length of your employment at Clarkson, whether your research advisor's grant will pay all or a portion of the coverage, and whether you need single or family coverage.
Insurance premiums are subject to change without prior notification.
If you are sponsored by a private foundation or a government agency, ask your sponsor about medical insurance coverage, and be prepared to provide proof that you are covered by health insurance. When you arrive at Clarkson, you will be given a Compliance Packet to review and endorse. This packet is available at the Division of Research, Room 156 Snell Hall. If you will be paid by Clarkson University, you must complete a W-4 form. These forms are available at the Payroll Office at Snell Hall or in your academic department office.
