Mandatory Health Insurance
A Health Insurance Premium charge will be added to the on-campus student’s (M.Div., B.Th. and Dip.Th.) account each semester unless they have an approved waiver on file by the semester deadline. Health Insurance policies are effective August 1st through January 10th of the following year for the fall semester and January 11th through July 31st for the spring. Students may waive the TMUS Insurance Policy if they have their own personal coverage that meets the institution’s minimum criteria.
Insurance Requirements
All registered traditional undergraduate students at The Master’s University and Seminary are required to have adequate medical insurance coverage. Therefore, all students are automatically enrolled in TMUS-sponsored health insurance provided by JCB Insurance Solutions, underwritten by Guardian Life.
TMUS Student Health Insurance Plan
All students must create an account, log in, and print ID Card.
The cost of health insurance coverage purchased through TMU will automatically appear on your tuition statement.
Billing questions should be directed to Student Accounts at (661) 362-2212. There is a medical insurance waiver that is embedded in the pre-registration process. Please modify as needed at the pre-registration site.
Dependent coverage (spouse, or child) questions should be directed to JCB Insurance Solutions (661) 320-3036.
