Insurance

All exchange/visiting students need to be insured during their stay at CAU. We will send more detailed information about the insurance with the Offer Letter. It is mandatory to be covered by the insurance policy whose benefits match or exceed $10,000 USD throughout the study period. Students may purchase their insurance plan at their home country and submit the certificate (in English) upon arrival or purchase the insurance plan arranged by Office of International Affairs. Students are able to purchase very affordable insurance through CAU, which will also make claiming insurance much simpler (approximately $70 USD).

According to the Korean government’s policies, students will need to undergo 2 weeks of self-quarantine after their arrival in Korea. Also, they will need to take multiple COVID-19 tests and comply with all of the pandemic-related national/university guidelines. If they break the protocol, the worst-case scenario is that they may be deported from Korea according to regulations set by the Korean government.
