All F-1 and J-1 students will automatically be enrolled in the IIT Student Health Insurance Plan at the time they register for classes. The charge for this coverage will be added to their tuition bill.  For detailed information about the Student Health Insurance Plan, please visit:

F-1 and J-1 students are NOT permitted to waive the Student Health Insurance Plan.   You should not purchase any health insurance before you come as it can not be used at IIT.
