Health Insurance for Domestic Students

With stewardship of resources and care of the whole person in mind, Westminster requires that all students have health insurance. Here you will find the information you need to ensure that you have necessary health coverage for enrollment. International students may have requirements for health insurance distinct to them; please consult the International Student Resources course in Canvas on those.

If you are a domestic student who does not have health insurance, or if you are an international student without health insurance, we suggest you contact an independent insurance broker. An insurance broker will be able to give you insurance advice specific to your individual needs, and he/she can help you navigate through the options available under federal law, as well as direct you to other insurance products, including those that meet the requirements for international students.
