Student Health Insurance

Required Health Insurance

ACTION REQUIRED FOR EACH ACADEMIC YEAR

Undergraduate students registered for six or more hours and all graduate students are required to carry health insurance. This requirement is met by having either private health insurance or the TCU Student Health Insurance Plan. Students who do not provide private insurance information will be enrolled in the student health insurance plan.

Please note that students who are studying abroad are not exempt from this requirement.

Private Insurance

Students with private insurance have the option to apply for a waiver of the TCU Student Health Insurance by submitting their insurance information for review. These waivers are only valid for the specific plan year in which they are submitted and must be completed before the deadline. Waivers are approved for students whose insurance is comparable to the TCU Student Health Insurance Plan.

TCU Student Health Insurance Plan

Students who will be carrying the student plan should enroll promptly to ensure their enrollment is processed quickly. This plan covers visits to the TCU Health Center at 100% and offers broad PPO coverage in the United States and abroad.

The TCU Student Health Insurance Plan is serviced by our broker Haylor, Freyer & Coon. Haylor negotiates competitively priced medical benefits on behalf of TCU students and verifies waiver requests to ensure that TCU students are covered.
