SECTION II: Policies and Procedures for all Students

Mandatory Health Fee and Health Insurance

All full-time students participate in the Student Health Program, which includes the mandatory health fee and health insurance. Coverage is from August 1 through July 31, as long as the student remains a full-time student. The health fees are charged on the student’s tuition billing statement. All full-time students pay the mandatory health fee. This fee covers office visits at the University Health Service (UHS) and the University Counseling Center (UCC).

In addition to the mandatory health fee, all full-time students must have health insurance. Students can enroll in the University-sponsored Aetna Student Health insurance offered through the University Health Service (UHS), or they can remain on their own (or their parent’s or spouse’s) insurance if their insurance plan meets University criteria. The University criteria are available on the UHS website. Each year, all full-time students must complete the online Health Insurance Enrollment/Waiver Process prior to the start of classes to select their insurance for the year. The link to the online insurance process is on the UHS website.

Part-time students are not eligible to participate in the Student Health Plan; however, they are welcome to come to the University Health Service on a fee-for-service basis.

Additional information about the mandatory health fee and health insurance is available on the UHS website in “Health Insurance for Full-time Students”. Questions about health insurance should be directed to their advisors.
