Student Health Insurance

°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²ÊÀúÊ·¼Ç¼'s Student Accident and Illness Insurance Plan is intended to supplement and complement services normally available to students through Beu Health Center.

You may request that health insurance be waived by submitting an online waiver form to the Student Health Insurance Office.
