Student Health Insurance
Students taking 9.0 units or more are required to submit to the registrar verification of health insurance coverage to register at PSR. The Graduate Theological Union administers health insurance coverage through Kaiser Permanente(KP) for students at Pacific School of Religion and for the rest of the consortium. Information including premium costs for the plan are available on the GTU Health Insurance page.
All students taking 9.0 units or more will either download and submit a Health Insurance Waiver form or enroll online in GTU HIPS with KP online through the KP website. All students enrolled in GTU HIPS with Kaiser, including continuing students, must enroll online every Fall in order to keep their coverage active.
