Fee Payment

The Student Health Benefits Plan, which includes medical, mental health, prescription, dental and vision coverage, is billed each semester – autumn and spring.   The fee is due on the date university tuition is due unless otherwise indicated on your Statement of Account. 

The Student Health Benefits Plan fee must be paid in full before benefits are available for use.
