University of Virginia Library

Insurance Program

Students are reminded that the University requires that all students
carry hospitalization insurance for year-round coverage. The University,
in conjunction with the Student Council, sponsors a preferred-risk
group insurance program with Blue Cross/Blue Shield. This program for
additional premiums may include dependents of married students.

Students must either enroll in the Blue Cross/Blue Shield program or
certify that they have comparable insurance with another coverage or
are included in programs with their parents. Students should note,
however, that many of their parents' policies do not provide coverage
beyond age 21.

Students wishing to enroll in the Blue Cross/Blue Shield program
must contact the local office of Blue Cross/Blue Shield Barracks Road
Shopping Center, Charlottesville, Virginia by Monday, February 17.
This is the last date for enrolling in the student group program for this
semester.
