The deadline to pay for the International Student Health Insurance coverage for summer is June 30th. Health insurance coverage is mandatory and ends when CIE no longer supports your F-1 visa status. This includes summer, even if you are not taking classes or you are traveling abroad. You can easily pay your fees through your student account.

My name is Emilio Machado, an international student from Brazil. I have an Environmental Engineer degree and I work with renewable energy. I am enrolled in a Madison College Business Management Associate Degree. I chose this are because I want to improve myself on how to make my business grow. In my free time, I like biking, play soccer, go to the theater and concerts with my family. It is a pleasure to work at the Center of International Education - CIE. There, I was able to know and help other international students and know the amazing and friendly CIE Staff.
