Columbia University Health Services

Students expecting to participate in any Study Abroad program should consult with an Insurance Specialist at Health Services about the type of insurance coverage they will rely on while traveling. All registered full-time and residential students are automatically enrolled in the Basic Level of the Plan if no valid waiver request is submitted and approved. Full-time students must confirm their insurance selection each year by actively enrolling in the Basic or Comprehensive Level of the Plan or by requesting a waiver of automatic enrollment in the Columbia Student Medical Insurance Plan and demonstrating coverage under another comparable policy.
