Insurance

All students are required to have major medical insurance. You will be asked to verify proof of your insurance coverage each school year. Students who have existing plans may opt-out of purchasing insurance through the college.

Every full-time student enrolled at ¿ìè¶ÌÊÓƵ is required to carry health insurance. We have partnered with Wellfleet Insurance Group to assist in managing the requirement and enrollment in the ¿ìè¶ÌÊÓƵ Student Health Insurance Plan.

Students who do not waive the plan by providing proof of existing health insurance coverage will be automatically enrolled in the college plan, and the health insurance charge will be billed to each student’s account.

You have two options outlined below:

1. Waive

If you have existing health insurance coverage, you can waive the ¿ìè¶ÌÊÓƵ Student Health Insurance Plan.
