The Center for English Language and American Culture (CELAC) at UNM has selected the Student Secure health insurance plan(s) for all international students because they provide comprehensive coverage at affordable rates.

Students are encouraged to view the plan benefits, exclusions and frequently asked questions to familiarize themselves with how the plan(s) work and what they cover. Please follow these steps to purchase coverage:

  1. Read the policy information and select the plan that is best for you. Be sure you read what is covered and what is not by each plan.
  2. Select the Apply Online link to start the purchase process.
  3. If your program will end in SPRING 2024, you are required to have insurance that ends AFTER May 11, 2024. If you are staying for the next semester, you need to make sure your policy covers you until the start of the next semester. If you allow the coverage to expire, your deductibles and waiting periods will start over.
  4. Once you have purchased coverage, you will need to download your visa letter in the Student Zone and email it to celac@unm.edu as proof of coverage.
  5. Students are responsible for having health insurance coverage for their ENTIRE stay in the U.S. You should never let your insurance policy expire as long as you remain in the U.S.!
