All full time domestic students plus all international students must have health insurance. Students are automatically enrolled in the school accident/sickness plan when they register. Students may waive the school's insurance if they can provide proof of comparable coverage. Health insurance waivers are to be completed each academic year – that’s fall semester through summer sessions.
