Student Health Insurance
McDaniel College requires ALL full-time undergraduate students to have health insurance.
- McDaniel offers students the option of purchasing a comprehensive Student Health Insurance Plan.
- If you are an American student coming from the Budapest campus who has health insurance coverage and would like to waive the option of purchasing the Student Health Insurance Plan, you must waive the policy no later than July 15th (Fall entry) or February 15th (Spring entry) by completing the waiver found at Wellfleet Student Insurance.
- If you do not complete the online waiver to provide proof of health insurance coverage by the deadline, you will automatically be enrolled in McDaniel’s Student Health Insurance Plan and the charge will be applied to your tuition account.
