International Student Health Insurance: $1,200 per year

All international students attending Lyon are required to have active health care and accident insurance. Recognizing the various forms of foreign health care programs, the College has available a health care plan that is designed to meet the needs of international students. International students who have active coverage through other healthcare plans will have the opportunity to waive the College plan. International students not covered by such plans will be required to participate in the College plan to be billed at the rate of $600 per semester. The College plan is provided by an independent insurance agency. The price is subject to change.
