Insurance

All students are covered by a general liability insurance plan, which will cover accidents incurred while on campus or while participating in University-sponsored academic or sports activities at an off-campus location. University liability insurance will not cover any cost incurred as a result of illness or as a result of accidents that do not occur on campus or at college-sponsored events. Insurance may be purchased through a private broker of the student's choosing. 

Residential students are required to maintain current health insurance coverage while living on campus.  Proof of coverage will need to be provided prior to moving into the residence halls.  We are pleased to offer a Piedmont University sponsored Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) to full-time students who may need it.  For more information, email ship@piedmont.edu, or go to firststudent.com for an overview of coverage with services provided by UnitedHealthCare.
