Proof of comprehensive health insurance is mandatory while attending ÿÈÕ̽»¨. ÿÈÕ̽»¨ will need to submit proof of their insurance so that we can keep it in the records; if we do not receive a proof of insurance by the end of the second week of the semester, students will have a registration hold placed on their records and they won't be able to process any registration activities until they show us their insurance proof.
