Campus Policy Regarding Insurance

  • It is a policy of the UNC Board of Trustees that all students who are enrolled for 9 credit hours or more are required to have health insurance. This is to ensure that health care costs will not interfere with your academic goals.

  • All students with 9 or more semester hours are automatically enrolled in the university student health insurance plan and billed along with other university services.

  • If you have other comparable insurance, you must show proof of insurance and submit a waiver form to the UNC Health Insurance Office by the 10th day of classes. (See what qualifies as comparable insurance here).
     
  • EVERY student must do a new waiver every fall.
     
  • Waiver forms will be done through an ONLINE process beginning with Spring 2008.  Online waivers should be available the first week of January.
     
  • NOTE:  Students enrolled in the Urban Education IDLA program or Extended Studies Program are not eligible to participate in the the Student Insurance
     
  • The Waiver deadline for Spring Semester 2008 was January 28, 2008.
