    Student Insurance Information
    If you have a Student Insurance charge on your account for the spring term, and you have insurance on your own, you can waive the charge through the link below.  If you waived the Insurance charge in the fall and you don't need it for the spring, no response is required.  It is very important that the waiver be submitted online if the student is covered under the parents' medical plan.  If you do not have medical insurance coverage, it is mandatory that you purchase the policy provided to you through LaGrange College.  The student will be prompted to enter their current insurance information, including the Provider's name and Policy (or Group) Number.  For information about the College's Insurance policy and the deadline for response, please visit the Business Office located in Banks Hall http://www.lagrange.edu/students/insurance/
