FIVE THINGS you need to know about Student Blue Health Insurance

Waive requirements: You must provide proof of other health insurance coverage to waive coverage through Student Blue. Other health insurance includes coverage under a parent/guardian health insurance plan or coverage under your personal plan.

The health insurance premium automatically appears on your student bill. If you complete the waiver process, and your waiver is approved, the cost will be removed from your student bill.
