Insurance information for The Ohio State University

Insurance is very important while studying at The Ohio State University because it can protect you and your family from financial loss due to unforeseen circumstances such as accidents, illness, or theft.

Having insurance provide peace of mind and allows you to focus on your studies.

When you enroll at The Ohio State University you are required to take Health Insurance meeting the requirements set by the university.

The university will offer you an (expensive) Health Insurance product. You cannot be obliged to buy that product. You can buy alternative Health Insurance elsewhere as long as it meets the State and The Ohio State University requirements.

If you buy an alternative Health insurance, you need to apply for a waiver. This means that the university will check and confirm that the alternative insurance is at least as good as the one they offered to you.

The Ohio State University has an strict procedure and deadline for the submission of the waiver. Check with your university and make sure you submit the waiver on time. United States
