Health Insurance IS Mandatory Prior To Moving Into Campus Housing

Per the Housing License Agreement, all students who live in campus housing are required to demonstrate to the Housing Department that they currently possess health insurance! We within the Housing Department take the health of our resident population very seriously and are committed through various educational efforts throughout the year to ensuring that everyone is making a concerted effort to place their personal health at the forefront. This includes developing healthy eating habits, getting plenty of sleep, and finding healthy means by which to relieve the stress that is inevitable while studying at AAU. Therefore, it also vital that everyone in campus housing possesses health insurance so as to receive appropriate medical attention and care, if the need were to arise!

If you don't currently possess health insurance, you will need to obtain insurance prior to taking occupancy of your room in campus housing. An option that is certainly worth taking a look at can be found by checking out this link:

Please make sure you bring a photocopy of the health insurance card with you to provide to the housing staff the day you move into your new home.  Please DO NOT mail, scan, or fax the copy as you will need to present this document in person.

Here's to a healthy semester ahead!
