University-Sponsored Student Health Insurance Plan
The University of North Carolina Board of Governors implemented a mandatory student health insurance requirement for all 16 campuses in the University of North Carolina system.
Students who are enrolled in six or more on-campus credit hours (in the classroom) must provide proof of credible and verifiable health insurance coverage in order to avoid having the Student Blue health insurance premium (Accident and Sickness) charged to their account.
Students who do not provide proof of verifiable health insurance coverage before the waiver deadline will be enrolled automatically in the university-sponsored student health insurance plan (Student Blue) and will be responsible for the premium billed for the semester.
Note: Students enrolled only in Distance Education courses are not eligible for health insurance and therefore are not required to submit a waiver.
Undergraduate students are eligible if they are:
- Enrolled in a degree-seeking program, and
- Enrolled in six or more on-campus credit hours, and
- Eligible to pay the university Student Health fee
Graduate students are eligible if they are:
- Enrolled in a degree-seeking program, and
- Enrolled in six or more on-campus credit hours, and
- Eligible to pay the university Student Health fee
The Fall enrollment deadline is September 11, and the Spring enrollment deadline is January 31.
If these conditions apply to you, you must provide proof that you have credible health insurance coverage each semester you are enrolled by submitting an insurance waiver to Student Blue. The verification of insurance waivers will be processed by Blue Cross Blue Shield. Once approved, the university will be notified. If you fail to complete this process by the deadline date, you will be automatically enrolled and charged the premium.
