International students at Avila need to have health insurance.  Getting health care in the United States may be different from the procedure in your home country. 

Normally, when health care is needed in the U.S., it is the responsibility of the person being treated to pay for these services.  Because health care in the U.S. is so expensive, health insurance is very important.    If you do not presently have health insurance for the U.S., you will need to enroll in an insurance plan upon your arrival in the United States. 

An insurance plan must be continued each year that you are a student.  If you do have health insurance from your home country that covers medical expenses in the U.S., please bring proof of this insurance when you come to Avila.
