Student Health Insurance

  • Academic Year 2011/2012

    Health insurance coverage is required of all undergraduate resident and nonresident students who are enrolled at least half time, excluding DCP students. The College provides a limited coverage plan for 12 months at a cost of $940 ($630 for second semester only) through Gallagher-Koster Insurance Agency. Please see below for more information on Gallagher-Koster and the policy.

    All applicable students are automatically charged for this health insurance. Students may waive the plan if insured by other coverage. Waivers need to be filed by January 4, 2012 (for students starting January 2011 only). Foreign citizen students who are not permanent U.S. residents may not waive the insurance unless they can document comparable coverage through a U.S. insurance carrier.
