Waive Your School's Insurance
Welcome to the Waive Your School’s Insurance Center!
This page is for those students who wish to opt-out (waive) out of the coverage under their school’s student insurance plan. The school’s student insurance plan can only be waived if the student has coverage under another acceptable insurance plan.
The first step to waive out of your school’s student insurance coverage is to verify that you are an eligible student.

Hard Waiver Student Eligibility
- All graduate and undergraduate degree (including online-only and non-matriculating), visiting, mobility (study abroad), maintenance-of-status, Lang and Parsons consortium, ESL + Certificate program, and graduate credit certificate students are automatically charged for the health insurance plan upon registration, and will be enrolled in the plan if a waiver providing proof of comparable coverage is not submitted by the waiver deadline.
Eligible Dependents of enrolled students may participate in the plan on a voluntary basis.
Students must actively attend classes for at least the first 31 days after the date for which coverage is purchased. Home study, correspondence and online courses do not fulfill the Eligibility requirements that the student actively attend classes.
Begin the waiver process by following the instructions below.
