Student Health Insurance
Students enrolled in the College of Arts & Sciences are required to report that they have health insurance with a minimum of $50,000 coverage for each accident or sickness. Student health insurance can be through a family plan, an individual plan, or the accident and sickness plan that Bethel provides through Student Assurance Services. Student athletes are required to have health insurance that meets the NCAA requirement minimum of $90,000 for each accident or injury and does not exclude intercollegiate sports accidents or injuries.
Each year students must complete an online waiver form to meet this important requirement. If the waiver is not completed by the deadline, the student will be automatically enrolled in the plan Bethel is making available, and the yearly premium will be billed to their student account. Note: Charges for this student health insurance plan are not refundable.
To provide health insurance information, students complete their waiver form through My Bethel > Banner icon > Student tab > Student Health > Insurance Waiver Form.
