Health Insurance Information

The Division of Student Belonging and Success wants to make sure you are informed about your health insurance coverage as you prepare for Spring 2025 at CSU! As part of international students, university housing residents, or health care students, you’ve been automatically enrolled in United Health Care (UHC) through CSU. If you have alternative insurance that meets all criteria, you can apply for a waiver.

If approved, this waiver will remove health insurance fees from your account.

The waiver period for Spring 2025 begins on December 15, 2024 and ends January 31, 2025. To explore whether you are eligible and to submit a waiver request, please visit the appropriate link below based on your student status:
International Students: Insurance Waiver for International Students
Domestic Students (Residence Hall and Health Care Students): Domestic Student Waivers
