Spring 2022
Welcome, Students!
Spring 2022 is certainly once again not what we expected, however, the University Center for International Education (UCIE) is even more committed to your success. We are your home-away-from-home whether you are a new international student, a continuing student, or a student planning to go abroad. Know that UCIE is here to serve you!
You are the bravest of the brave. Not only have you made a decision to study in a different country to pursue your education, you have done so in the middle of a global pandemic. Your commitment to your future is admirable. Like the Wright Brothers, you are the innovators, the creators, and the entrepreneurs of our future. You represent the very best of Wright State and the world.
The staff of the UCIE are available to serve you Monday-Friday, 8:30am-5pm and can be reached through email or by phone at 937-775-5745. You may also join our various in person and virtual events and programming on-line this Spring Semester. Make sure you like us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/WSU.UCIE.
We have done everything as an institution to keep you safe during this time and will continue to support you during your time at Wright State. Be proud of your accomplishments, but do not be afraid to reach out for help or just to talk to a friendly advocate in the UCIE. We are here for you and YOU ARE WELCOME HERE!
Have a wonderful start to this new semester!
Sincerely,
|

Michelle Streeter-Ferrari, Director

Spring/Summer 2022 Health Insurance |
|
Spring/Summer 2022 Health
Insurance Premium
All international students were billed $1227 for their insurance.
This coverage is from January 10, 2022 to August 14/2022, combining both the Spring and Summer semesters.
The health insurance premium this year is 25% lower than in previous years.
To keep this premium low, WSU opted for an annual plan that is payable in two installments (Fall & Spring/Summer)
Therefore, insurance waivers will only be granted when:
The student has coverage through a U.S.-based insurance from an employer, the employer of a spouse, parents, governmental sponsors such as SACM, or is graduating on Spring 2022.
Insurance waiver requests may be submitted electronically no later than Friday, January 21, 2022.
