Health Insurance Waiver

If you have another health insurance policy and you meet the following criteria, you can apply for a waiver:

• A plan from a family member working for a U.S. employer with insurance is eligible.
• If you are an international student who is sponsored by your home country government and your plan meets the requirements outlined on this webpage, you can be waived from participating in the designated health insurance program.
• Waivers will only be considered according to the first two bullets. Other requests for waiving will not be considered.
• Waivers are not acceptable for individual plans purchased in the U.S. Short-term travel insurance or emergency care coverage only do not qualify for a waiver. Reimbursement plans are not allowed.
• Waivers for Fall classes must be submitted no later than August 1 and waivers for Spring classes must be submitted by January 1 to allow for processing. Late submissions will not be considered. Waiver requests must be submitted annually and timely submission is the student's responsibility.

If you have an approved waiver, the health insurance fees on your tuition bill will be removed.

Your alternative plan must have these benefits to be considered for a waiver:

• Medical evacuation coverage of at least $50,000 (USD)*
