Insurance

To better safeguard Marquette students traveling abroad, OIE adopted a comprehensive insurance package, mandatory for all students studying abroad with academic programs or traveling under the auspices of Marquette University until December 31, 2024. The insurance is offered through GeoBlue, a leading student international insurance provider.

• OIE will enroll students in GeoBlue for the dates of their study abroad program shortly prior to departure.
• A charge of $55 per 30-day period will be posted to the student’s Marquette Bursar Account (Checkmarq).
• Students who would like to extend their coverage pre- or post-program can do so directly on GeoBlue’s website. The price and coverage of the pre- and/or post-program insurance will vary from that of the Marquette plan.
• Insurance will not be waived, regardless of existing personal insurance coverage or country-specific insurance requirements, for continuity of health and safety response.
• GeoBlue does not cover students returning to their home country to study abroad.
• Some countries, like Australia and Canada for example, require students to purchase medical insurance through the government as part of the visa and entry requirements. While there is some overlap in coverage, the government policies do not provide all the required coverage, so both policies are required.
