All students must maintain continuous, adequate health‑insurance coverage that meets Lyon College School of Dental Medicine’s (LCSDM) minimum requirements from the date of enrollment through graduation.
Students’ coverage must satisfy the minimum program requirements of the student health insurance plan selected by LCSDM. These minimum requirements, along with the process for requesting use of a student’s personal insurance rather than purchasing the LCSDM‑selected plan (i.e., a waiver), can be found on LCSDM’s website. Waivers are required every year, regardless of whether one is already on file from the previous year. Students who fail to submit either a waiver or proof of coverage obtained through the school’s broker will not be eligible for initial enrollment or for enrollment in subsequent terms. LCSDM does not provide student health insurance coverage; instead, Lyon College works with a third‑party broker.
It is the student’s responsibility to comply with LCSDM’s health‑insurance policies and to know the start and end dates of their coverage. Failure to maintain adequate insurance may result in suspension from clinical participation and possible termination from the program.
Any required health‑insurance waivers must be submitted prior to the beginning of the term. Questions may be directed to dental@lyon.edu
