Your Health: Health Insurance

All students enrolled in Summer Programs at Tufts University are required to have health insurance. Students permanently residing outside the United States are eligible to be covered by a health insurance policy free of charge while on a summer program at Tufts. This insurance policy covers most accidents and illnesses occurring while on the program. However, it does not cover any pre-existing conditions, routine examinations, or optional treatments.

Tufts University advocates that students behave responsibly when consuming alcohol. Please be aware that expenses incurred for injuries resulting from the use of alcohol or intoxicants, or any drugs unless prescribed by a physician, are the responsibility of the student. In addition, the health insurance policy does not include self-inflicted injury, suicide, or any attempt thereof.

Please be aware that you are responsible for any health expenses incurred that may not be covered by the insurance policy. To be enrolled, you must return the Enrollment Confirmation Form at least ten days before the start of the program.
