Do I need to purchase my own insurance policy to legally drive my girlfriend’s car?

I have a current, valid license but cancelled my own insurance after selling my car. We are currently in school. She has full-coverage on the car and it’s titled and registered in another, where she’s from, and where we will move next year.
