Health Insurance is billed to all students who are enrolled in at least 12 credits. This is a conditional fee, which can ONLY be waived upon submission of proof that the student has his or her own health insurance coverage, or is covered under someone else’s policy. A waiver form MUST be completed and returned no later than the second week of the semester. Waiver requests received after that week cannot be honored.
Part-time students, who have nine (9) credits or more, may elect to be covered by the health insurance, even though it is not initially included on their bill. Part-time students who wish to be covered by health insurance must provide a written request to the Office of Student Accounts by the end of the second week of the semester.
NOTE: International students and students enrolled in Study Abroad Programs can only apply for a Health Insurance Waiver through the Center for International Programs.
Brochures are mailed to all students as part of the initial billing. Brochures are also available in the Office of Student Accounts, HAB 210. Additional information can be found online at www.newpaltz.edu/healthcenter/student_ins.html.
