Health Insurance
Student Health Insurance is offered for both domestic and international students. It is not required for students to have the school offered health insurance. Students may also have private health insurance.
Insurance is not required to be seen at Health Services. Medications, labs, and procedures will be billed either directly to the student or via their health insurance. Please ask your provider if you are unsure of these costs.
