INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL FULL-TIME QUINNIPIAC UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
Quinnipiac University REQUIRES all students to have a personal medical insurance policy.
All students are required to go login to the website https://go.gallagherstudent.com/Universities/Quinnipiac%20University/Home and complete all information.
If a domestic student does not have a personal medical insurance policy, or one that will provide sufficient coverage with local providers to the student while attending school, the student will have the opportunity to enroll in the Universities Student Health Care insurance program at this link. The cost of the policy, $1,560, will automatically be added to the student's Quinnipiac school bill.
NCAA rules prohibit colleges and universities from paying any medical costs for an injury or illness not directly caused by participation in intercollegiate athletics. It is for this reason student-athletes are required to have their own personal medical insurance coverage.
Quinnipiac University strongly recommends student-athletes contact their current medical insurance carrier to verify that their policy will cover non-emergency athletic injuries and general illness while attending a college in the state of Connecticut.
