INSURANCE
All students are required to have health insurance
coverage. Under the federal government’s health care law
(the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act), you must
have a plan that qualifies as minimum essential coverage
or pay a fee on your next federal tax return. There is no
special student exception to the federal requirement to
have health insurance. CIU does not provide a student
health insurance; the student is responsible to secure his
or her own coverage.
