Medical Insurance Fees
The University Student Health Center offers basic medical services
for students. To provide complete health care coverage, the University
recommends that all students review their current plan to
determine if their current insurance will cover them out of their
home area. The University offers information on a medical
insurance plan for accidents and illness, which is available to all
enrolled undergraduate students (and their families). The University
recommends this medical coverage to cover unanticipated
expenses that could otherwise interrupt educational endeavors.
Enrollment, benefit summary information, and applications for this
voluntary plan are available in the Health Center and in Student
Financial Services.
All international students are required to enroll in the University
International Student Medical Insurance Plan. Any exceptions to
this requirement are subject to the approval of the Health Center.
Waivers may be obtained in the Health Center only and must be
completed prior to the 10th day of the quarter to ensure appropriate
coverage enrollment. Any changes in coverage (i.e., addition or
deletion of spouse or child) must be submitted prior to the 10th day
of the quarter.
Student Services Fees
Education placement files.
Teacher, school counseling, and
administrative placement file fees are paid every placement year
(November-October) in which a file is actively used. Initial registration
fee waived for interns the year they become certified.
Mailing credits for prepayment of first-class file mailings are as
follows:

Senior Citizen Program
In keeping with the goal of service, SPU has a program that offers
tuition-free and technology-fee-free courses to persons 65 years of
age or older. Senior adults of this age bracket may attend oncampus
undergraduate classes as auditors or for academic credit.
They may take courses in special interest areas and/or complete a
bachelor’s degree. The only limitation to the program is the availability
of space in particular classes. Registration for senior citizens
who use this program commences on the second day of the quarter.
Those wishing to apply work toward a degree must formally
apply to the Office of Admissions. Nonmatriculated students need
only register at Student Academic Services. The Senior Citizen
Program does not cover course-related fees.
Special Study Programs
Students enrolled in special study programs (e.g., European
Quarter, Latin American Studies, and American Studies) need to
make special financial arrangements. As soon as students receive
their study-tour packets from the faculty tour organizer, they should
consult the study-tour representative in Student Financial Services.
The representative will work with the student to establish an
appropriate payment schedule and determine if financial aid is in
order so those students may meet the tour departure date. Study
tours must be paid in full prior to departure.
