Other Student Services
The Treasurer's office provides these additional services to students and clubs:
Students who participate in school sponsored trips may pay with a check or credit card by mail or during office hours. Because trip costs are not regular school expenses, they will not be reflected in the student's account through the payment portal, PAWS.
Cadets are required to carry student health insurance for all semesters they are present on campus. Proof of insurance is required for admission, readmission, and continuation as a cadet. Cadets must notify the Infirmary immediately of any changes in insurance providers or coverage. Adequate insurance coverage for hospitalization, emergency care, ambulance transportation, specialty medical and surgical care is mandatory.
Students and their parents should be aware that carrying fewer than 12 credit hours may affect insurance coverage with some insurance companies and may also affect eligibility for financial aid. If a student is an Undergraduate Evening or Fifth Year Student and carrying less that 12 credit hours or a Graduate student carrying less than 9 credit hours, they are not considered full time and therefore will need to get U. S. Health Insurance on their own.
Many cadets are covered under parental medical insurance plans. For mili tary families covered by TRICARE, cadets must be enrolled under TRICARE STANDARD (not PRIME) unless the family lives in the Charleston area. This allows cadets to skip evaluation and referral by the Primary Care Manager (at home base) for supplemental medical services in Charleston.
Individual student health insurance is also available through commercial insur ance companies. Cadets are eligible for the South Carolina Statewide Student Health Insurance Plan, which provides low-cost insurance for students at seven participating colleges in South Carolina.
