This plan is both comprehensive and affordable and does not require any pre-issuance testing or medical examinations. The details of the plan, including benefits, are covered in these documents.

The college assesses a $12.00 fee per semester to your tuition bill (see Bursar's account), which covers your cost of the policy.
