Health Insurance Policy
St. Olaf requires that all students enrolled at the College have adequate health insurance coverage. This requirement is in place for the protection of our students.
Domestic Students
As of the 2024-2025 academic year, St. Olaf will no longer be offering a school sponsored domestic insurance plan. This decision was made while considering the needs of students, families, and staff. Students must have insurance that covers emergency care in Minnesota but are not required to have coverage based in Minnesota, and families with outside insurance will no longer need to submit a waiver providing proof of coverage.
International Students
St. Olaf will continue to require our international students to participate in the international student plan through LewerMark.
Supplemental Accident Insurance
Starting in the fall of the 2024-2025 academic year, St. Olaf will be providing a basic accident benefit that provides up to $5,000 for expenses relating to an accident occurring on or off campus. Students do not need to sign up for this benefit which will be available to all full-time students at no cost. This supplemental accident plan does not replace your current major medical coverage.
This coverage is in effect only for the academic year. Coverage begins the first day students are required to be on campus and ends the last day students are required to be on campus. Coverage remains in effect over breaks, so long as the student is enrolled in the next academic term.
To take advantage of these benefits, students must complete a EIIA claim form, and submit the itemized insurance bills and explanation of benefits if you have primary insurance plan.

Understanding Healthcare
Learning how to navigate health care in the U.S. is not only a daunting task for many St. Olaf students, health literacy is a national concern for many people of all ages.
In response, the Understanding Health Care page was made by St. Olaf students in order to provide students with the tools and support to help them tools to navigate health care with more confidence. By guiding our research based on student data along with staff and student interviews, this webpage covers a wide array of health care issues that students identify struggling with.
