PSU Insurance Requirement Overview & Aetna Student Health Insurance Plan PSU requires all domestic students taking 5 or more in-load credits (1 credit for international students) to have major medical insurance. Once students enroll for the appropriate number of credits they are automatically enrolled in the PSU Aetna Student Health Insurance Plan and their student account is charged. If a student has comparable health insurance, they may waive out of the student plan.
