Student Health Insurance
All full-time undergraduate students are required to carry health insurance . If a student is not otherwise insured , the University has arranged for basic coverage . A fee for this coverage will be assessed to all full time students . This fee will be waived upon presentation of proof of insurance to the University ’ s Insurance Carrier . In order for the fee to be waived students must complete an online waiver before the deadline established each year . Students who fail to meet the deadline are automatically covered and charged for insurance . There are no exceptions after the deadline has passed . Information about the Health Insurance Plan may be obtained from the Office of Campus Health or the Campbell Solution Center . Do not confuse this online waiver process with proof of insurance to live in the residence halls or play sports on campus .
