Insurance Requirement for All Students
http://www.unco.edu/student-health-insurance-program/
All Undergraduate students taking 9 or more credit hours and all Degree Seeking Graduate students taking 6 or more credits per semester, regardless of the type of class (on campus, off campus, online only) are required to have full coverage health insurance.
Students who meet the credit hour criteria will be automatically enrolled in the UNC Student Health Insurance Plan and the cost will be added to your UNC student bill. Students have the option to waive out of the UNC Student Health Insurance Plan by completing the online insurance waiver showing proof of comparable coverage prior to the deadline, which is always the 10th day of classes each semester.
If a waiver is completed for the UNC Student Health Insurance Plan for Fall semester, the enrollment and subsequent charge for Spring semester will also be waived. If you have questions regarding re-enrollment in the UNC Student Health Insurance Plan, contact the Student Insurance Office at 970-351-1915.
Please note: International students may not waive the UNC Student Health Insurance Plan regardless of the number of credit hours even if they have alternative health coverage. International students are required to stay enrolled in the UNC Student Health Insurance Plan. Any questions regarding International Student insurance requirements, please contact the Center for International Education.
