Enrollment & Waiver FAQ – Saint Augustine’s University


WAIVER QUESTIONS


1. What is an online waiver, and why do I have to submit one?

Some schools require students to have Health Insurance in order to attend. This is to protect you from having to interrupt your academic progress due to unexpected medical bills.  If your school requires you to have Health Insurance, you will have the option to either purchase the insurance offered through your school or if you are already covered under your own plan, provide proof of your coverage by completing an online waiver.   Your coverage must meet all of your school’s Insurance Requirements in order for your waiver to be approved.   If you do not complete a waiver or if your coverage does not meet your school’s requirements, you will be automatically enrolled in your school plan and charged on your student account. Please visit your school’s ‘Waive your school’s Insurance’ page on our website for instructions on how to complete a waiver.

Once the waiver process is completed an email will be sent to the school issued email address confirming the status of the waiver. Please be sure to follow instructions if additional information is requested.

–

2. Who is required to submit a waiver?

Not all students are required to submit a waiver. In order to confirm if you are required to complete a waiver, please visit the ‘Waive Your School’s Insurance’ page on our website and read the requirements listed under ‘Hard Waiver Student Eligibility’. If you meet these requirements, then you are required to submit a waiver and you will need to follow the instructions to complete the waiver prior to your school’s deadline.

–

3. Will my insurance be accepted?

The only way to know if your insurance will be accepted is to submit the online waiver. You will be sent an email to your school-issued email address within 24-48 hours confirming the status of your waiver once you complete the waiver online. Please visit your school’s ‘Waive your school’s insurance page” on our website for instructions on how to complete a waiver.

–

4. What happens if I don’t submit a waiver?

If you meet the requirements of a Hard Waiver Student you are required to submit a waiver either annually or by semester depending on the guidelines of your school, and you will be given ample time to do so. Students who do not submit a waiver by the deadline date are automatically enrolled into the insurance provided by their school at the end of the waiver period. Once enrolled coverage cannot be canceled. Students who missed the deadline are welcome to send in an appeal to our customer service department. To do so, please visit our Contact Us page to fill out the Contact Form. This will direct your email through to our Customer Service department.

5. I have an approved waiver, why is there still a charge on my account?

It can take up to 7 business days for the charge to come off your account after receiving your approved waiver email confirmation. If it has been more than 7 business days, please reach out to your school regarding the charge. We do not handle the billing on your student account in our office it is done through your school.

  • Incorrect spelling of the first or last name

The re-verification of your waiver request may take up to 7-10 business days. Please allow 7-10 business days for a response prior to sending additional emails as this will cause a delay in our response time. Please be sure to check your junk or spam folder for a secure email.
