Protection from the Unexpected for Every Student

Mandatory student accident insurance designed to support your entire campus community.​

From classrooms and residence halls to off-campus travel and activities, institutions are responsible for student safety in countless moments that can’t always be predicted.

Wellfleet’s Mandatory Student Accident Insurance helps cover eligible deductibles or co-insurance that Primary insurance doesn’t pay, offering students flexible, customizable 24/7 protection. With premiums often built right into the semester bill, it’s practical protection that keeps students focused on what matters most.

The result is confidence knowing that when incidents occur, there is a reliable framework in place to help students manage the financial and emotional impact.

Protection for every student, for activities on and off-campus

Comprehensive accident coverage for all enrolled students helps reduce out-of-pocket medical costs from injuries, whether they occur on campus, off campus, or during school-sponsored activities.
