Student Health Insurance



Lincoln Memorial University is requiring that all undergraduate and masters level students, taking six or more credit hours, have health insurance coverage. Students may provide proof of their own insurance that is equivalent to the coverage of the LMU plan or subscribe to the LMU plan.  Student accounts will be automatically charged for the new insurance plan unless proof of insurance is provided on or before:

  • Student athletes are required to submit a copy of coverage or letter indicating athletic injuries are covered by their current insurance plan.
  • The student should allow at least ten business days for the credit to be processed after the information has been sent to the Office of Student Services.
  • All notifications of waiver approvals will be sent via the student's LMU email account. It is the student's responsibility to check their email accounts for approval notice. If an LMU email account has not been issued, then students should contact: Lesley Chumley, 423.869.7166, or by email at: lesley.chumley@lmunet.edu, to follow up on the status of the waiver.
