Health Insurance

The University requires that all students in degree programs have health insurance. The IGP will pay for this through your student account. There is an immunization form due to Student Health Services before you can be enrolled.

The form is linked HERE  You will not be able to enroll in courses until this record is received.  Your insurance will be effective on the first day of orientation.  If you are covered by another plan you must waive the coverage provided by Vanderbilt.  You can do this by following this link, and choosing ‘student waive’ under ‘student access’ in the left sidebar.
