Student Health Insurance

All registered students are required to carry full health insurance coverage while attending Pratt Munson.        
Students who will have coverage under a separate health insurance plan, covering them while in the Utica, NY area, may elect to waive the school's Student Health Insurance Plan and have the charge removed from their billing invoice. To waive the insurance coverage, students will complete an online waiver form that will be emailed to them beginning in early June.  As part of the waiver process, students will be required to submit proof of their existing insurance coverage, which will then go through a verification process.            

Students who will not be insured under a separate health insurance plan will be required to enroll in the school's Student Health Insurance. To enroll in the insurance plan, students will complete an online enrollment form that will be emailed to them beginning in early June.
