Fees & Insurance

Although Student Health Services does not charge for care, necessary medical care at other facilities such as at ERs or with specialists can be expensive and the benefit of insurance coverage is substantial.

Health Insurance

It's college. Be prepared. Things can happen.

Although the College of Charleston does not require most students to have health insurance, we strongly urge all students to maintain adequate health insurance. 

International Students
International students with F-1 and J-1 student visas are required to have health insurance that covers them while in the United States.

Fees

All registered students pay a health fee as part of their registration fees. This health fee covers many, but not all, of the services provided at Student Health Services.

The fee does cover unlimited visits with the medical and nursing staff.
