Does CSU offer health insurance?
Yes, CSU does offer health insurance, but purchasing it is optional. The current cost for 2005-2006 is approximately $1600, including the summer. As a graduate student, you will receive $200 per semester as a bonus in your paycheck to cover health insurance. However, this amount does not have to be applied toward the CSU health insurance program or any other health insurance program. Even if you do not choose the CSU health insurance program, you still retain access to the Hartshorn Health Center, which offers medical services ranging from general practice to physical therapy at a very low cost. Procuring some type of health insurance is still strongly suggested, though, to cover more substantial accidents or injuries.
