As required by Bethel University and the State of Tennessee, specific immunizations are required of all traditional students prior to the first day of classes, at campus housing check-in, or check-in at mandatory activity participation. Please upload your immunization record.
If you have questions, please contact Chris Esch, Immunization Coordinator at 731-352-4291 or eschc@bethelu.edu.
Student Health Insurance
At Bethel, we want to do all we can to help you successfully navigate through college life, and sometimes that means managing unexpected challenges due to illness or injury. Because of this, all students enrolled are required to have health insurance through a family plan, an individual plan, or a plan that Bethel provides through a student health insurance provider.
Students are automatically enrolled through Bethel's Insurance Plan if they do not opt-out. To opt-out, you must provide information proving you already have insurance. If you do not opt-out, your student account will be charged for insurance. This is separate from the insurance requirements required by Athletics. If you have questions, please email
If you have questions, please contact 731-352-6936 or insurance@bethelu.edu.
