All full-time, degree-seeking students enrolled in at least one in-person course are required to maintain adequate health insurance to protect against unexpected accidents and illnesses. Most of these students are automatically enrolled in the university-sponsored student health insurance plan, and the premium is charged to their student account—unless they provide proof of comparable coverage and are approved for a waiver.
Students eligible to waive the university plan must do so each academic year.
International students with an active F-1 or J-1 visa are not eligible to waive and are required to enroll in the university plan.
In some cases, a student's department may cover the cost of health benefits. When this applies, students will see a credit on their SIS bill for medical, dental, and/or vision coverage.
