Health Insurance
Update 9/10/2009
You must register yourself through First Student after paying the health insurance fee. Go to the
First Student website to enroll.
Student health insurance is available to USU students if they are enrolled in 6 or more undergraduate credit hours and also to those enrolled
in 1 or more graduate credits. Undergraduate students can find out more in the Unsubsidized Health Insurance and Links sections further down
the page. Rules for graduate student insurance are outlined below.
Graduate Student Requirements
USU International Students are required to purchase student insurance coverage through USU on a hard waiver basis or show proof of qualifying
comparable coverage each semester in order to waive.
All other graduate students are required to have a health insurance plan if:
you are working 0.5 FTE (20 hours/week) or
you have a scholarship/fellowship of $10,000 or more.

you must provide evidence that you are covered by an equivalent policy. Details of health insurance through USU are described below.
