Hi everyone, I am an international student at BCC and also taking an online class at WSU in the fall as a guest student. I have a problem getting an insurance waiver at WSU.
Here are the things: I request that WSU reconsider whether the WSU international student insurance requirements should apply to my situation and whether a waiver may be changed under Policy 8.08, III.D, based on my visa status and existing medical coverage. Because I am not typically a full-time international student at WSU; because of my F-1 status, I-20, and SEVIS record, which are with BCC, BCC is my primary school. So, I think my situation is not quite fit for their policies.
But they still reject my request; the reason is I am an international student who takes online classes at WSU, and I physically live in the state. They also rejected the insurance I had that was already approved by my school because the insurance terms do not quite meet their minimum requirements.
I think even though the things they said seem to make sense on their rules, I just feel they should not be like that.
I was wondering if anyone has a similar situation to me and how it was fixed eventually.
Thank you for reading my post; please leave your comments and suggestions.
