Health Insurance 2015/2016 Enrollment/Registration Update

The University will no longer require proof of current health insurance* as a condition of enrollment (Exception:  Student Athletes* and International Students*).

The existing current Student Assurance Health Insurance Policy will terminate on July 31, 2015

There will be NO automatic enrollment into a health insurance plan (Exception:  International Students*).

There will be NO fee on the tuition bill (Exception:  International Students*).

There will be NO opportunity to procure health insurance through your tuition or financial aid via OLLU (Exception:  International Students*).

Individuals who currently carry the Student Assurance Insurance and who desire to have health insurance after July 31, 2015 will need to procure a new policy from the private market place, directly from Student Assurance or through the Affordable Healthcare website www.healthcare.gov.

Students are encouraged to commence research now so that a new policy can be procured and ready to go into effect August 1, 2015.

Students should select a policy that best meets their individual needs, preferences, and budget.

Students and/or parents should research options where coverage applies to their home state/county as well as where they attend school.

The 2014 Federal individual mandate requires most Americans to maintain “minimum essential” health insurance coverage.  

*STUDENT ATHLETES:  Proof of current health insurance is required to participate within any OLLU Athletic program. No exceptions.

*INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS:  Mandatory enrollment in Student Assurance is required and will be billed on the student’s billing statement.
