What is student liability (malpractice) insurance?

All applicants who are accepted into a College of Health Sciences program that requires participation in clinical learning experiences must purchase and maintain liability insurance through Eastern Kentucky University during the entire clinical experience. Proof of such insurance coverage must be furnished to the department before the clinical experience is scheduled to begin.

Where do I purchase the liability insurance and how much does it cost?

The University has arranged for appropriate insurance coverage at a modest cost to the applicant. Further information may be obtained at the applicant's major departmental office.

How do I sign-up for the student liability insurance?

Students enrolled in a fieldwork or clinical course will register for the student liability insurance at the same time as you register for classes. This will generate the fee as part of your tuition/fees for the semester. Not registering or paying the fee for this will result in disenrollment from the clinical/fieldwork course(s).

I was not accepted into the program of my choice what do I do now?

In the event that an applicant is not accepted for a program, the applicant who wishes to reapply must submit a new application and related materials that will be considered for the following semester. Contact the department offering the program for further details.
