Health Insurance Waiver
Students having outside coverage can deduct the amount of the health insurance from their bill, providing the online Health Insurance Waiver Form is completed no later than the waiver deadline. When the form is submitted, a credit will be posted to the student's account. The Waiver Form will not be available after the waiver deadline. Click here to access the Waiver Form. Please use only the electronic version of this waiver form. Modified print versions and/or faxes will not be accepted. If a waiver is submitted in the fall, a student does not have to resubmit a waiver in the spring.Spring waivers are only for students who were not registered in the fall.
All full-time registered students who have not submitted a waiver by the published waiver deadline will be enrolled in the group health insurance plan administered by United Health Care. Students will then be responsible for payment of the premium charged to their account.
