Updates on Student Health Insurance and Child Care Support

To Our Professional Students:

Thank you for choosing ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ to continue your education. Whether your studies with us are full- or part-time, we appreciate that your decision to pursue an advanced degree involves a significant commitment of your time and resources. Today I am pleased to announce two changes that we hope will ease those burdens at least a bit.

First, we have partnered with a local child care provider to lower your costs at their facilities. has across Northeast Ohio, including one in University Circle adjacent to the Tremont Athletic Club. Effective Feb. 1, ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ will pay your $125 membership fee and up to $1,000 of child care at any Sweet Kiddles site. 

Second, we are reducing the out-of-pocket maximum for student health insurance by $1,500, effective in the next academic year. The new cap will be $5,000. 

While I realize that some may not be able to benefit from either of these options (e.g., you do not have children and/or have other health coverage), I am grateful to Sweet Kiddles, and our finance team, for making both of them possible for those who will use them.
