Maritime College Student Handbook 2021-2022

Students attending SUNY Maritime College who are here on an F-1 or J-1 visa, will automatically be enrolled in the SUNY foreign health insurance provided by GeoBlue (formerly HTH Worldwide). This insurance is billed each semester. Maritime College requires all students participating in any course which may involve study abroad (any port which is not domestic) to be enrolled in the SUNY Administration mandated foreign health insurance program administered by GeoBlue. All Maritime College students participating in Summer Sea Term, Cadet Shipping (credit or noncredit) or civilian courses that may include foreign travel will be automatically enrolled in the College’s foreign health insurance coverage upon registration. All students who are registered for the fall, winter and spring terms will be charged for the entire term. The Student Accounts Office will bill the students based upon the total months in the term that the students participate in cadet shipping and itineraries of Summer Sea Term and civilian courses. These charges are non-refundable and non-negotiable unless the course is dropped through the Office of the Registrar. The charge for foreign health insurance is mandated by SUNY Administration and their agreement with GeoBlue.
