Health Insurance
All Willamette Early Career MBA students who are enrolled for six or more credits of course work are required to carry health insurance. Willamette University automatically places U.S. students on a third party health insurance carrier policy and automatically places International students on a health insurance policy for international students.

U.S. Students: Student health insurance for U.S. students is billed at the beginning of the year and will appear on your first statement for tuition and fees. Student health insurance for international students is paid at the beginning of fall semester and spring semester. If you have coverage under another plan, you may be able to waive Willamette's student insurance plan. The plan must be waived prior to September 15, 2008. More information about the student health insurance plan and the waiver process is available at http://www.willamette.edu/dept/health/insurance/index.html.

International Students: International students with other coverage must personally meet with Chris Andresen to show proof of adequate coverage to before classes start on August 20th. More information about the international student health insurance plan and the waiver process is available at http://www.willamette.edu/dept/oie/intl/handbook/insurance/ Information for International students is available at http://www.willamette.edu/dept/intl-education/handbook/insurance.htm If you have specific questions about the International student health insurance policy or purchasing additional health insurance to cover dependents, email Chris Andresen at candrese@willamette.edu.


Monthly Payment Plan Available
Willamette offers a deferred payment program through a third party company known as Tuition Management Systems (TMS). This interest-free payment plan offers students a program through which educational expenses for the year can be spread out over 8, 10 or 12 months. This monthly payment plan option has a $65 application fee for the year. Under this plan you divide your net expenses for the entire year by 8, 10 or 12 to determine your monthly payment. Visit the TMS website at www.afford.com or call 1-800-356-8329.
