Waive/Enroll in Plan: Full-time Domestic Undergraduate Students

All full-time undergraduate students are required to have health insurance and are automatically billed for the cost of the University-sponsored student health insurance plan.

Full-time domestic undergraduate students have the option to:

  • Remain enrolled in the University-sponsored plan; or,
  • If already covered by an existing health insurance policy, decline the coverage by completing an online waiver by the prescribed due date below.

Important Note: If a waiver is not received by the waiver deadline, the student will be automatically enrolled in the University-sponsored health insurance plan and will be responsible for paying the plan premium directly to the University.

Waiver Information

Students who wish to decline the University-sponsored health insurance must complete an online waiver through the following link. Please note, you will not be able to access the waiver until after you are officially registered for classes.

Health Insurance Waiver

For New Spring 2025 Students Only

Waiver Available: November 18, 2024
Waiver Deadline: January 31, 2025

All online waivers must be received and processed by the waiver deadline above.

  • You will need your student ID number and certain identifying information about your current insurance policy in order to complete the waiver process.

    1. Go to https:/studentcenter.uhcsr.com/newhaven and click on Waive Coverage.
    2. Enter your date of birth and student ID number (without the two 00s at the beginning).
    3. Follow the steps and complete the waiver form in its entirety.
    4. Immediately after completion of the waiver, you will receive a confirmation email. Please retain this email confirmation for your records. The Bursar’s Office will be notified of your waiver, and it will be applied to your student account within seven days.

    PLEASE NOTE: If you did not receive a confirmation email, the waiver did not go through, and you must repeat the process.

  • Once the waiver deadline has passed, you will not be able to waive coverage until the next academic year. Failure to complete the online waiver request form by the specified date will obligate the student to pay for the coverage indicated on their student account.

    • An online waiver will need to be processed each academic year should you wish to waive coverage.
    • The only way to waive the University-sponsored health insurance is online.
    • If a waiver is not received by the waiver deadline, the student will be automatically enrolled in the University-sponsored health insurance plan and will be responsible for paying the plan premium directly to the University.
    • Once the waiver deadline has passed, you will not be able to waive coverage until the next academic year.

Students wishing to enroll in the University-sponsored plan along with students who do not complete the online waiver by the waiver deadline, will be sent an email notification to their University email address once their plan is active.
