 Required Student Insurance Program
DOMESTIC STUDENTS Bowling Green State University has implemented a Required Hard Waiver Health Insurance Program. This program states that all domestic students taking eight or more credits hours on the main campus and all international students regardless of credit hours are required to have health insurance coverage. This resolution does not apply to domestic students exclusively at BGSU Firelands or distance-learning students. Under the “required, hard waiver” program, students must have health insurance that meets the basic minimum requirements set by the University. If the student does not wish to purchase the BGSU offered Student Insurance Plan, students must have alternative health insurance coverage, provide that information to the University, and complete a waiver providing their current health insurance coverage information. If this alternative coverage does not meet the basic minimum requirements, the student must purchase the University offered Student Insurance Plan.
INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS ALL international students are required to purchase the BGSU Student Health Insurance Plan as a condition of enrollment at the university and will not be permitted to waive the coverage. Exceptions may apply for international students who are covered under a government/embassy sponsor or a select international organization (i.e. Fulbright), or who are covered as a US-based employee or a dependent of a US-based employee, with US-based health insurance provided through that employment.
