Saint Joseph’s College requires that all students be covered by health insurance while attending school. Working with Cross Insurance Agency, Saint Joseph's college is sponsoring a Student Accident and Sickness Insurance Program with two Plans, Plan 1 and Plan 2. All full-time students are automatically enrolled in Plan 1, which provides students with benefits up to a $1,000 maximum per covered accident or sickness. Plan 2 is recommended optional coverage which extends the limit of Plan 1 to $10,000.

Enrollment for all full-time Students in Plan 1 is automatic and included in your tuition bill through the College Business Office. A student may waive the Plan 1 enrollment and premium charge by providing proof of medical insurance and completing the online Waiver Form at www.sjcme.edu . Please follow the instructions as outlined below. Online Waiver Forms cannot be accepted after August 15, 2009 for fall. Online Waiver Forms for spring cannot be accepted after January 30, 2010. Students who waive the insurance in the fall do not need to waive again for the spring. Students who have not waived the insuranceby the deadline will be insured in Plan 1. Waivers will not be accepted after the deadline.
