Enrolling in the Student Health Insurance Plan
Waiving Student Health Insurance
All students enrolled in one or more hours in a degree-seeking or financial aid eligible certificate program are required to have health insurance. Therefore, all students taking one or more credit hours are automatically enrolled in and billed for the Student Health Insurance Plan. If you have a comparable insurance, you may qualify to waive the Student Health Insurance Plan.
You must have comparable coverage from another carrier in order to waive the Student Health Insurance Plan. That coverage must meet several requirements in order to be considered comparable. If your plan does not meet these requirements, your waiver request will be denied, and you will be enrolled in the Student Health Insurance Plan.
Waiver requests must be submitted no later than 10:00pm on the posted deadline date. Failure to meet the deadline will result in enrollment in the Student Health Insurance Plan and your account will be billed accordingly. If your waiver request is approved, the insurance charge will be removed from your account within 7 business days.
