Current Students
Health and Disability Insurance
The University Student Insurance plan is required for all full time students in the program (9 credits hours or more). This plan provides the student with health insurance, disability insurance, and $10,000 life insurance. The cost is covered in the tuition charged. The payment over two semesters for the insurance covers the student from the start of the school year until the start of the next school year. Dental Insurance is available for the individual to purchase.
Student Health is located on campus and functions similar to an HMO. On staff doctors and nurses treat the students and, if warranted, refer them to specialists. The number for Student Health Services (appointments) is 362-3523.
Leave policies (family leave, vacation, leave of absence, etc.): Normal scheduled breaks set by the University for all students will be adhered to in this program.
Should a student require a leave of absence for academic or personal reasons, they must submit a statement in writing to the Program Director. Such a statement should include indication of the beginning and anticipated ending dates of the leave and a brief statement of the reason (academic or personal). Requests for leave of absence must be approved by the Program Director. Leaves of absences shall be granted for no more than one academic year, but in unusual cases may be renewed by the Program Director for a second year. Students requiring a personal leave of absence for medical reasons must, in addition, submit a letter from the attending physician(s).
