*** Health Insurance participation is mandatory unless the student has other comparable coverage. The annual cost of the Vanderbilt Student Health Insurance Plan will be included in the fall semester charges unless the student submits evidence of adequate coverage under another policy. After June 1, students have the option of going online to either the Student Accounts web page (www.vanderbilt.edu/stuaccts) which will link them to the VU-sponsored insurance company, or going directly to Koster Insurance online (www.gallagherkoster.com) to waive their insurance charge. The deadline to waive the VU-sponsored insurance is August 1, 2008. Please note the following Vanderbilt University policy change: All incoming freshman students must complete an online waiver form at the beginning of each academic year.
