Health Insurance
Students are required to maintain active health insurance coverage that meets the minimum RFU requirements while on active student status. Once per academic year, during open enrollment, students who have other insurance coverage may apply for a waiver through the Waiver Portal. The University currently offers a health plan for all eligible students with Blue Cross Blue Shield. The cost information below is effective for 06/01/2026 through 06/30/2027.
