Full time students have an opportunity to waive the health insurance fee within the first 20 days of the fall and spring semester by showing proof of health insurance coverage to the university. Waivers must be completed at the beginning of each semester. All full-time (12 credit hours) students who do not waive the health insurance fee will be automatically covered under a health insurance policy purchased by the University.
