Fall 2023 Health Insurance Requirement

The Fall 2023 Enrollment/Waiver period begins May 11, 2023. Students who do not go online to waive out, or submit verifiable health insurance information will be enrolled automatically in Student Blue, the University sponsored plan, and will be billed $1,392.40 each semester.

In general, undergraduates enrolled in 6+ credit hours and graduate students in 1+ credit hours who are in a degree-seeking or certificate program are required to either purchase the University-sponsored plan or provide evidence of an existing creditable health insurance policy. Graduate Research and Teaching Assistants, as well as Fellows, are covered under the Graduate Student Support Plan. You must be registered for courses in order to waive or enroll.

Students enrolled in Distance Education courses only are not eligible for health insurance and therefore are not required to submit a waiver.

COOP are not required to have the insurance, but they can elect to take it by sending an email to student_accounts@ncsu.edu.

Students who are already covered by an insurance policy (i.e. through parent plans, family plans, employer-sponsored plans, or student health insurance), and wish to waive out, must submit their insurance policy number for verification through the Student Blue Website. The charge is removed from the student’s bill once their policy is verified. Students who do not waive out are automatically billed each semester and will be enrolled in the University sponsored plan after the waiver deadline. The deadline for waiving out of the insurance for the Fall 2023 semester is September 11, 2023. If your insurance is not waived by the semester billing due date you must pay the charge.  You will be reimbursed when the charge is waived.

Students wishing to purchase the University sponsored plan, should go to the online enrollment form and set up their Insurance Account with Student Blue. You will be billed automatically on your Student Account.
