If you are planning on using the Cardinal Care health insurance option and you require coverage during the month of August, read through the Early Start Cardinal Care Coverage details in the attached paperwork. Early start applications need to be submitted online. Note the midnight July 18 deadline and note, too, that if you opt for early coverage you are also committing to Cardinal Care for the academic year. Check out the Caring for Your Health section on the admitted students website for details on providing your medical records, on necessary immunizations, and general health-related topics. The 2025-2026 version of Vaden’s Student Health Matters publication is now available online.
