Student Health Insurance

Our student health insurance is offered by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Montana. It is a requirement of the University of Montana Western that students carrying seven or more credits have some form of health insurance. The Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Montana health policy is offered through the University of Montana Western and the premium for this policy will be automatically assessed to students. The premiums are paid on a semester basis along with tuition and fees. If you have other health insurance, you may waive the student health insurance by completing the online survey when registering for courses.
