Enroll in AcademicBlue Student Health Insurance

All international students enrolled at UT Austin in a visa status of F or J (who do not hold U.S. citizenship) are automatically billed for health insurance via their student tuition bill and do not need to submit a health insurance enrollment form.

Please follow the instructions below to submit the insurance enrollment form to Academic Health Plans (AHP) if you wish to purchase coverage for your dependents or continuation coverage (for graduating students), or if you wish to add optional dental care coverage.

Instructions

• Go to the Academic Health Plans online enrollment page. 
  • Click on "International & ESL Students" to add dependent or optional dental coverage. (Note: you will pay AHP directly for insurance premiums, and you will need to enroll in this optional coverage each semester.) 
  • If you are graduating, you may purchase three months of "Continuation Coverage," provided you meet eligibility requirements.
•  Download the Online Enrollment Student Experience Guide (PDF) and follow the guidelines provided.

J-1 Faculty & Scholars

Visiting faculty and scholars are eligible to purchase the AcademicBlue Student Health Insurance Plan during their stay in the U.S. The minimum purchase available is one month of coverage. Follow the instructions listed above and choose the Visiting Scholars Enrollment tab.

You may choose any start date, and the end date will be the previous day on your last month of coverage. For example, if you wish to purchase three months of coverage effective January 5, your end date will be April 4. When choosing your coverage dates, please remember that J-1 faculty and scholars are required to have coverage until the end of the current semester or the end of their program (whichever is sooner).
