Updating Your Address

If You Get Sick

You are automatically enrolled into the Wright State Health Insurance plan unless you are covered under another approved insurance. If you develop symptoms of COVID-19, you should seek medical care right away. Student Health Services (937-245-7200) is the preferred point of first contact for Dayton Campus students. Student Health Services can conduct a telehealth appointment to assess symptoms and refer students for testing.


Health Insurance Coverage

For the fall term, your Wright State health insurance coverage starts on August 28 prior to the start of fall semester classes. For the spring term, the Wright State health insurance starts on the first day of spring semester classes. If you are already in the country prior to the effective start dates for each semester, we HIGHLY recommend you purchase a temporary health insurance plan. Here is a link to our Health Insurance partner and their short-term insurance plans: www.uhone.com.


Deferral Information

We are no longer accepting deferral applications. If you have an admission decision, the decision is valid for one academic year. You will need to submit a new application (along with another fee) for the following semester and upload your original documents to it.
