The Affordable Care Act requires everyone to have health insurance or be subject to penalties. There are several options available to students, including coverage under a parent's policy until age 26 or by purchasing coverage through the Minnesota Health Insurance Exchange (MnSure). Students from states other than Minnesota should explore options within their state of permanent residence.
Special note for international students:
The Minnesota State system offers student health insurance through UnitedHealthcare to international students, who are required to enroll in the plan (with very few exceptions). If you are an international student, click here to access more information and to enroll.
