Mandatory Student Health Insurance
If you are a full-time undergraduate student, you are required to have health insurance covering care in the state of Louisiana. All full-time undergraduate students are automatically enrolled in Loyola’s Student Health Insurance Plan. You must provide proof of comparable, existing insurance coverage for the 2025–2026 academic year in order to waive coverage through Loyola.
Office visits and all on-site labs and services at Student Health Services are available at no costs to students enrolled in Loyola’s health plan. If you have other health insurance, please check with your plan provider regarding coverage and fees.
Please visit our Student Health Insurance website page to view plan details and specific requirements for waiving coverage depending on if you are an international or domestic student. Reach out directly to our insurance providers with questions about your plan.
