Understanding Your Health Insurance Requirement

All Valpo graduate students must carry health insurance during their time at the university. This policy helps protect students against unexpected medical costs and ensures access to timely care. Use the section below to learn more about what’s required and why maintaining coverage is essential to your success at Valpo.

Required Student Health Insurance

Valparaiso University is interested in promoting good health practices as well as preventing sickness and accidents among students. The University does not assume financial responsibility for a student in case of illness or accident. The University maintains the Student Health Center for the treatment of illnesses and minor accidents. Students are responsible for the costs of such treatment if it is not covered by their medical plan.

Valpo requires students to carry health insurance while attending the University. This policy protects a family’s investment should unexpected medical issues arise. We also know that people seek healthcare at earlier stages when they possess insurance. Early assessment and treatment are particularly important in a highly residential environment such as our campus.
