Waiver Instructions

The Spring 2026 waiver is open for new students starting spring semester. The deadline to waive for spring 2026 only is January 26th at 5:00 pm. If you waived the UNC insurance for fall 2025, the plan will automatically waive for spring 2026. A new waiver will be required for all students who wish to waive for fall 2026/spring 2027 (waiver opens April 1st 2026).

Students wishing to waive out of the UNC Student Health Insurance Plan must have other health insurance. If you wish to waive the school insurance you must complete an online waiver through URSA each year. Completing the waiver in the fall will also waive the insurance for spring semester. If you wish to re-enroll in the insurance, contact nicky.weglin@unco.edu for further instructions.

Please note: If you waive the school insurance plan, you can still use the University Health Clinic located in Cassidy Hall. The health clinic can bill most insurance plans (call the health clinic at 970-351-2412 to determine if we are in-network with your plan).

All international students must follow the waiver process through the Office of Global Engagement website. For waiver instructions go to: https://isss.unco.edu/index.cfm?FuseAction=Security.AngLogin. International students cannot waive on the UNC URSA site. You must go through the Office of Global Engagement.

Domestic students can choose to waive the insurance coverage and premium
