Students enrolling in Johns Hopkins University Explore Engineering Innovation (In-Person) or Sustainable Energy Engineering (In-Person) must have health insurance issued by a provider headquartered in the United States. Traveler’s insurance does not meet this requirement. A parent or guardian may not waive or permit students to attend without health insurance that is U.S. based. Documentation of health insurance must be provided to the program before enrollment is confirmed.
International students must also meet this U.S. based health insurance requirement. For students who cannot document satisfactory coverage, a temporary, summer-only plan is provided by IMGlobal, through the Patriot Exchange program. This is a limited, emergency plan, and does not cover pre-existing conditions. The plan requires at least one month of coverage.
At the Patriot Exchange insurance purchase site, the following elements of coverage must be met:
- Your Start Date and End Date must be set. Find the appropriate dates for your specific program below.
- You can choose the deductible amount you and your family prefer, but coverage must be based on the 500,000 Maximum Limit
