As a service to our students, GVSU offers an opportunity to enroll in a Student Health Insurance plan through Student Assurance Services. This plan is available to any student registered at GVSU and attending classes. Columbian Life Insurance Company underwrites the plan.

This plan provides substantial accident and sickness coverage at a low cost to students. Enrollment in the plan provides coverage 24 hours a day worldwide, during the term of the student's policy. This policy also includes Global Emergency Service benefits with 24 hour assistance for students traveling away from school, including overseas, and access to the Ask Mayo Clinic: 24 Hour Nurse Hotline to help students determine the appropriate level of care for illness and injuries.

It is important that the student consider this program or one of their own choice, as the University's liability policy insurance does not cover injury or sickness sustained by a student, even if they result from class or group participation activities such as intramural sports or drama.
