All full-time and part-time graduate students in a degree seeking program taking at least 6 credits are eligible to enroll voluntarily into the Student Health Insurance Plan. Graduate students taking less than 6 credit hours are eligible if they are in a degree-seeking program and taking coursework to complete their degree with the University for the current policy year. Note: All international graduate students with a current J-1, J-2, F-1, or F-2 student visa who are enrolled at Loyola University are required to purchase Loyola’s Student Health Insurance Plan. The purchase of the Student Health Insurance plan is mandatory and non-waivable. The mandatory enrollment process is managed through the Graduate Admissions Office.

It is to your advantage to use a preferred provider because significant savings may be achieved from the substantially lower rates these providers have agreed to accept as payment for their services.
