Waive Your School’s Insurance
Welcome to the Waive Your School’s Insurance Center!
This page is for those students who wish to opt-out (waive) out of the coverage under their school’s student insurance plan, and have the fee removed from their student account. The school’s student insurance plan can only be waived if the student has coverage under another acceptable insurance plan.
Submitting a waiver, is as easy as 123! The first step to waive out of your school’s student insurance coverage is to verify that you are a “hard waiver” student.
2013 – 2014 School Year
All hard waiver students are required to enroll/waive every fall or if you are a new incoming spring student, enroll/waive in the spring. Enrolling/waiving coverage in the previous school year does not exempt you from enrolling/waiving coverage in the next.
Definition: A hard waiver student for your school is
An undergraduate student enrolled in 6 or more credit hours. Hard waiver students are required to show proof of insurance by completing an online waiver or by enrolling in the Student Health Insurance Plan by the deadlines listed below.
- Fall Waiver Deadline: 9/15/13
- Spring Waiver Deadline: 1/30/14
- Summer Waiver Deadline: For the Summer Session, enrollment is voluntary and you are not required to enroll/waive coverage.
Students who do not submit an approved waiver form before the deadline will be automatically charged and enrolled in the Student Health Insurance Plan. Once enrolled, there are no refunds or cancelations. (Please note automatic enrollment will occur AFTER the waiver deadline.)
Completing the Waiver
After you verify that you are a hard waiver student and have other insurance, you will need:
- Your current health insurance plan ID card;
- Your 9 digit university ID number (found on your admissions letter or obtained by calling 301.314.8385)
