   • Fellowship Recipients with a stipend of $2,928 or more per semester who are enrolled full time as defined by their school, but no less than 8 credit hours per semester

   • International students who are taking credit hours, unless they provide proof of comparable coverage

3. School of Medicine Student Plan. Enrollment is mandatory for all students of IU School of Medicine and for Post-Doctoral Fellows, unless proof of coverage through a parent or spouse is presented, and a waiver is filed by the waiver deadline.
