In addition; emergency services due to accidents is covered as per Best Assistance Network of hospitals, to be announced.
School liability: $11 insures you in case of accidents on campus or outside campus on university sponsored activities. This charge is mandatory for all students and cannot be waived.
If you are enrolled for Summer 2025, the above two charges will be added to your statement of fees. If you are already covered through other types of health coverage (listed below) you must complete an online waiver indicating proof of your personal medical Insurance/NSSF/Other coverages. The online waiver form will be available once the statement of fees for Summer 25 are issued on June 13, 2025 & the link will be sent to your LAU’s email. Once the waiver is verified and approved, the premium will be removed from your statement of fees. Thus, Eligible students must complete the online waiver process with their own creditable medical coverage before the deadline and prior to printing the statement of fees.
