Please note:

Students who drop below 5 credits will no longer be eligible for the student insurance. Self-support and online classes do not count toward eligible credits. Students who drop below the 5 credit hour limit before the enrollment deadline will have their health fee refunded. If a student needs to drop for medical reasons and wishes to continue to have access to SHAC and insurance, they may appeal to do so by contacting Jessica Cole at (503) 725-2800.

Please be aware that most self-support or course credits received from TV, Internet, Video, or Satellite are not eligible for the student health fee/basic insurance or supplemental insurance. To read the full description of Self-Support classes please click here.
