Health, Injury, and Insurance

Bastyr students are responsible for maintaining their health both on a daily basis and as a result of injury or illness. The Student Health Plan is a wellness plan offered through Bastyr Center for Natural Health and Bastyr University Clinic. It is not an insurance plan, so students must obtain health insurance to cover themselves while students at the University.

The University does not carry insurance on student health or property. Bastyr is not responsible for illness, injury, or other loss suffered by a student while participating in University-related activities, whether the activities occur on or off campus. Students assume the risk of illness, injury, or other loss that results from participation in any on- or off-campus event, including any injury that happens during travel to or from the activities. Bastyr is not responsible for providing transportation for students to clinic shifts, internships, jobs, social events, volunteer service activities, or any other off-campus activity. Students are responsible for making their own travel arrangements and for all associated costs and risks.
