The University mandates that all students have health insurance. If you are uninsured, or you are enrolled in a plan that does not comply with the University coverage requirements, you will be required to enroll in the University Student Health Plan (SHP).
Aid-eligible students who do not have an insurance plan that meets the coverage requirements may be eligible to receive financial aid towards the cost of the Student Health Plan.
- You must make a Student Health Plan enrollment election through the Aetna website by June 30th.
- You must certify your health insurance status when making your election within the Aetna website.
- The Financial Aid Office will be notified of your enrollment election in July and your financial aid package will automatically be updated prior to your first Fall statement.
The Undergraduate Financial Aid office will offer grant aid to cover the cost of the standard student health plan fee for aid eligible student without comparable coverage once enrollment and certification requirements are complete.
Failure to make your mandatory health insurance election will result in default into the Student Health Plan and a non-refundable 12-month plan fee billed to your student account. Student defaulting into the Student Health Plan are not eligible for grant aid to cover the cost.
