Student insurance requirements

The purpose of this policy is to define the categories of student enrolled at Lynn University who are required to maintain health and/or homeowner’s insurance.

I. Accident Insurance

Athletes participating in intercollegiate sports are covered by a special policy that pays for accidental injury while participating in University intercollegiate sports. Athletes are expected to pay the deductible amount in this policy.

All students are required to carry medical insurance or be covered by their parents’ policy. Students are required to provide proof of comparable insurance before enrolling at the University or they will be automatically enrolled in the University plan. Information about student medical insurance is available from the Financial Aid office or the Health Center or at www.studentinsurance.com.

II. Domestic Student Health Insurance

All undergraduate day students are required to carry medical insurance or be covered by their parents’ policy. Students are required to provide proof of comparable insurance prior to enrollment at the University or be automatically enrolled for the University plan. Information about student medical insurance is available from the Financial Aid office or the Health Center. If comparable proof is not provided by the specified date prior to enrollment each year, the student will automatically be enrolled in the University plan and the student’s account will be charged.

III. International Student Health Insurance

Lynn University requires all F-1 visa students to have insurance coverage for health, medical evacuation and repatriation during their entire enrollment period. Used in conjunction with the University Health Center, the plan will provide a high level of protection for unforeseen medical expenses and is required. The University plan is required in addition to any existing policy for the F-1 visa student. Students can enroll for the insurance through the online system or be automatically enrolled by the University by the start of the term. For specific information regarding this policy, please contact the Financial Aid office at [email protected].

IV. Homeowner’s Insurance

If a student has any expensive items or equipment (cameras, stereos, jewelry, TVs, etc.), the items should be engraved with an identifying number of the owner. This identification is helpful in recovering lost or stolen items. Students should also consider keeping a personal inventory of items and their serial numbers. To prevent items from being stolen, room doors should be kept locked whenever the student’s room is vacant. The University does not provide insurance for the loss of any student’s personal belongings as a result of theft, fire or water damage. Therefore, students should make personal arrangements to insure belongings through an individual or family homeowner’s policy.
