Student Services
Student Health Insurance
The university requires all full-time students to have health insurance coverage throughout the entire school year. By default, students will be enrolled in William & Mary's student insurance plan, but you may elect to opt out and purchase your own insurance coverage instead. If you receive health insurance coverage as part of your financial aid package, you will be automatically reimbursed for William & Mary coverage, but will need to submit some additional forms to receive reimbursement for other insurance. You will be reimbursed no more than the cost of the William & Mary insurance plan.
