Student Health Insurance Information

NIU has a student health policy that includes coverage of healthcare items that may be of interest to gender non-conforming, non-binary and trans identified students. Below, you'll find some of the documentation that comes straight from the insurance provider on their requirements to use these covered services.

We encourage you to to contact Carole Drennan, NIU's student health insurance benefits supervisor at cdrennan@niu.edu or 815-753-9575, for guidance on the process.
