Student Health Services provides routine medical treatment and assistance for students who are ill or injured. When a specialist is needed, SHS will make a referral.
It is mandatory that all enrolled students with 7 units or more purchase accident insurance. The accident insurance is secondary to any other insurance the student may carry. It will reimburse deductibles and co-pays.
The university's health insurance is on a hard waiver basis--students may waive the insurance if they have other health insurance either through their parents or in some other way. The current student health insurance company is Aetna.
Catastrophic Injury Insurance
All LMU students who participate in Club Sports are covered by a "catastrophic injury" policy. Catastrophic injury refers to significant injuries, such as spine or head injuries, which are either long-lasting or permanent. The insurance sits in excess of any other insurance the student is carrying. More details about the insurance plan can be found in the Insurance Plan Brochure.
The insurance covers a Club Sports participant during play, practice, or travel to a competition
