Eastern requires that all full-time students carry sickness insurance to cover medical care not provided by the University's Student Health Service. All full-time students will be automatically enrolled and billed for sickness insurance unless they waive such coverage by providing specifics of alternative coverage. Please review your insurance coverage carefully to see if it will cover your needs while you are here at school.

If you believe you have adequate sickness insurance coverage, you may waive the policy offered by Eastern. To waive the sickness insurance, please click here for instructions for waiving the insurance online. If you have any questions about the sickness policy offered through the Connecticut State University System, please call the Student Health Service at (860) 465-5263.

The insurance provider for students at Eastern is Aetna Student Health. Details about the student health insurance, including a brochure and information about providers and filing claims, are posted on their website: www.aetnastudenthealth.com
