Student Health Insurance

The state of New Jersey requires that all full-time students maintain health insurance providing basic hospitalization coverage. All full- and part-time students enrolled in health careers programs are required to pay a fee for medical exams, criminal background checks and drug screening and to present verification of current health insurance before participating in clinical settings. For all students, full- and part-time, the College provides a basic accident policy that provides coverage for accidents that occur on the College's campuses while a student is attending classes or College-sponsored activities.

Students are assessed a $3 insurance fee each semester toward the cost of this policy. Students should also consider purchasing, at their own expense, a basic accident and illness policy for themselves (and, if they choose, their dependents) that provides basic coverage for accidents and illnesses that occur on or off the campus around the clock. Students interested in purchasing this broader coverage should carefully review the informational brochure that explains the coverage and limits. Both the brochure and application form are available in the College Business Office in Wilson Center on the Blackwood Campus.
