2024-2025 Health Insurance Rates

A health insurance charge is automatically assessed to all student accounts each fall semester. GSDM students may only enroll in the Aetna Student Health Plus Plan. Students with comparable health coverage may file a Medical Insurance Waiver via the Student Link.  Waivers must be submitted each academic year.  For more information, visit the Student Accounting Services website.
