Health Insurance
All full-time undergraduate students are required to carry medical insurance and are automatically enrolled in the Aetna Student Health Insurance plan. Enrollment in this University sponsored health insurance is not required to use the University Health Center.
Students with comparable existing health insurance coverage may opt to waive the health insurance. For students entering in the fall semester, the waiver form is available in mid-July. For instructions on how to waive the Aetna Student Health Insurance, please click here to be directed to the Student Accounts webpage.

Additional information, brochures, and claim information are available from the Aetna Student Health website - www.aetnastudenthealth.com - or by calling 1-877-373-2756.
Costs
Visits with all Health Center providers are free. Services such as medications, injections, medical supplies and diagnostic or laboratory studies are supplied for a nominal fee. Charges can be billed to the student’s account or paid by cash or check. Students who are referred out for medical services not available at the University Health Center or who seek medical or health services elsewhere in the community are fully responsible for all expenses.
