Student Life

Insurance

The cost (premium) per month is $409.29. Your account will be charged $131.10 at the beginning of each semester. This fee is not prorated. The remaining $387.44 monthly balance will be paid as follows: The University share of the $387.44 balance is equal to twice your appointment percentage. Percentages are based on how many hours are worked per semester. For example, if you have a 50% appointment, the University will pay the entire $387.44. Or, if you have a 25% appointment, the University will pay half, and you pay the rest which is billed once at the beginning of the semester to your student account.
