Full-time or residential students are also required to have adequate medical insurance coverage for off-campus services such as hospitalization. You are automatically enrolled in the Basic level of the Columbia Student Medical Insurance Plan. Alternatively, you may use the designated system in Student Services Online to request enrollment in the Comprehensive level of the Plan or to request a waiver of automatic enrollment by proving you have other comparable coverage.
