Pharmacy students are required to maintain health insurance as a condition of enrollment. Students have the option of purchasing insurance through the Tennessee Board of Regents (TBR) student insurance program or of providing proof of comparable insurance through an alternate provider. The cost of the premium will be included on the semester fee bill for students electing to purchase the TBR student insurance.  

Student electing to opt out of the TBR student insurance program may must provide documentation of health insurance through an alternate provider to the Office of Student Affairs on an annual basis. This is done by completing the Insurance Declaration Form and returning it to the Student Affairs office. Otherwise, the student will automatically be enrolled in the TBR student insurance program with cost of the insurance being included on the Fall fee bill.

As part of the TBR student insurance program, a spouse and/or children may be covered for an additional premium. Students choosing to add dependent coverage must pay the premium separately as it cannot be included on the semester fee bill.

Note:  Student Affairs is advised of changes to the student insurance program in the summer by the Tennessee Board of Regents (TBR). Benefits, premiums, and conditions are subject to annual change. Click here for details on the insurance carrier.
