The New School is pleased to offer a Student Health Insurance Plan to all degree, diploma, online only, visiting, mobility (study abroad), Lang and Parsons consortium, graduate certificate program, and both graduate and undergraduate degree program non-matriculating students. The Student Health Insurance Plan is an integral part of The New School’s mission to promote a healthy environment for our students.

Please be sure to read the following pages carefully as they describe services, insurance coverage and limitations, procedures to waive, and important deadlines. It is your responsibility to understand the nature and scope of benefits and limitations as well as to abide by stated deadlines. View the entire Plan Brochure online (select the "New School" link).

Health care is expensive. If you plan to waive participation in the Student Health Insurance Plan, be sure your plan covers medical and mental health care in New York City. The New School strongly encourages you to consider participation in the Student Health Insurance Plan.
