Southern Adventist University offers eligible students a nationwide health insurance plan thru United Healthcare Student Resources (UHCSR). Students enrolled in at least one on-campus class or living in University housing, are eligible (along with spouse and dependents) to purchase health insurance. Students registered for online classes only are not eligible to purchase this insurance.
Southern Adventist University requires all students who live in University-owned housing to have MEDICAL insurance coverage that is valid in Tennessee and complies with the Affordable Care Act. Prior to the start of classes each semester, all students who live in University-owned housing must submit the Health Insurance Verification and Enrollment form online via the Enrollment Checklist using the MyAccess student portal. Those who do not complete the online form by its due date will be enrolled with a plan through UHCSR.
For more information, enrolling a plan, or provide proof of coverage, please visit southern.edu/risk.

Insurance carried by Southern Adventist University does not insure the personal effects of any individual.
