 Health Insurance Coverage -Students taking eight or more credit hours on the main campus will be required to have health insurance coverage. This does not apply to students at BGSU Firelands or distance learning students. This requirement is a change from the voluntary program, which was previously in place for domestic undergraduate students; however, it is not a change for international students or graduate students. Under the new “hard waiver” program, students will be required to have health insurance coverage that meets a basic minimum set by the University, provide that information to the University and sign a waiver to that effect. If they do not have basic minimum coverage, they must purchase the University’s Student Health Insurance Plan. For more information regarding student insurance, please visit: http://www.bgsu.edu/offices/sa/studentinsurance

The charge for the University student health coverage will automatically be assessed for the entire year unless the student provides proof of insurance to the following areas:

International Students--graduate and undergraduate

Graduate and Undergraduate Students--eight or more credit hours (main campus)
