Health Insurance for Students
Regardless of whether you have health insurance or not, all students should be sure to have personal expense funds for health care related costs and transportation to and from appointments.
Accident Insurance for U.S. Students: All students enrolled at the University in at least a half-time program are automatically covered by accident insurance for accidents occurring on or off the University campus.
Health Insurance for U.S. Students: The University does not provide a formal insurance policy for U.S. students. U.S. students are also encouraged to have adequate health insurance coverage. Should you wish to obtain health insurance, you may contact your own health insurance provider. We provide the following contact for your reference: Nadine Cohen, Sidha National Insurance, 641-472-3500, 800-383-9108. Add other local student health insurance providers.
Health Insurance for International Students: All international students are required to carry health insurance while enrolled at the University. International students are required to purchase the health insurance plan offered through the University at the time of registration or provide evidence of coverage in the United States from their home country. Information on health coverage is given at orientation.
