5. All students and their parents should read the Aug 13 posting from the fall program blog which has a link to a FAQ sheet about the CORE insurance program. The Basic level is provided by Global LAB for each student, but if you wish to "upgrade" you may do so my contacting CORE directly prior to the program.
