Student Health Insurance Update
The 2024-2025 academic year student health insurance plan, offered through UnitedHealthcare, is now open for enrollment. The coverage is effective from 8/16/2024-8/15/2025.
Michigan Tech requires all graduate and international students to be enrolled in a comprehensive health insurance plan. Graduate and international students must either purchase the UnitedHealthcare plan or submit a waiver showing proof of alternative coverage. Graduate students with an assistantship must still take action to enroll in the health plan. Michigan Tech does not automatically enroll any student in health insurance coverage.
Domestic undergraduate students are not mandated to have comprehensive health insurance and do not require a waiver. However, undergraduates are eligible to enroll in the UnitedHealthcare student plan, if needed.
Student athletes are required to carry comprehensive health insurance coverage. Contact Nate Larson for more information.
Visit Michigan Tech’s Student Insurance webpage, https://www.mtu.edu/hr/students/insurance/, for more information on the 2024-2025 United Healthcare plan design and rates, instructions for enrollment, and instructions for submitting a waiver (graduate and international students only).
Important note: There is a new waiver process for 2024-2025 with submissions required through the UnitedHealthcare Student Resources portal, https://studentcenter.uhcsr.com/mtu, instead of being submitted to Michigan Tech’s Student Insurance office.
If you have any questions, feel free to email studentinsurance@mtu.edu or call at 906-487-1088.

To serve as a poll worker in Michigan, you must be:
