Beginning Fall Semester 2014, all new students accepted into the Respiratory Care Program at Albany State University will be required to show proof of active Medical Insurance coverage. This is a new mandate by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia and Albany State University is required to comply. Proof of coverage must be submitted between August 1, and September 5, each year. Submissions CANNOT be completed BEFORE August 1, or AFTER September 5, 2014 for the Fall Semester. Submission is done via the following website:

Proof of coverage must be provided in one of the following ways:
1) Through a currently active parent plan.
2) Through a currently active individual or family plan.
3) Through a currently active Employer-Sponsored plan.
4) Through a currently active Albany State University Student
Health Insurance Plan (SHIP).
5) Through a currently active Government Sponsored Plan.
If a student fails to provide appropriate proof of coverage during the dates stated above, the student will be automatically enrolled (via the Business Office) into plan #4 above. As of May 1, 2014, the Annual Premium rate for Plan #4 was as follows:
Student – Age 26 and Under $1,381.00
Student – Age 27 and Older $1,782.00
*These rates are subject to change without notice.
Additionally, Health Insurance coverage must be maintained by the student throughout the entire time he/she remains enrolled and actively progressing through the Respiratory Care Program. If a student fails to maintain Health Insurance coverage, then he/she will be immediately dismissed from the Respiratory Care Program for failure to maintain the mandatory coverage as required by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. If you have any questions regarding this requirement, please contact the Respiratory Care Program Director, or the Health Sciences Division Office.
