Non-degree Candidates
Summer session students who are not candidates for a degree will not automatically be enrolled in the NYU-sponsored Student Health insurance plan. Therefore, non-degree students do not have to waive coverage to avoid health insurance fees. Still, it is a good idea to check to make sure that you are not being charged for health insurance.
NYU Degree Candidate
NYU students in a degree-granting program (e.g., J.D. and LL.M. students) who register for at least one (1) credit during the summer will be enrolled automatically in and charged for an NYU-sponsored Student Health Insurance Plan unless:
a) The student was enrolled in an NYU-sponsored Student Health Insurance Plan for Spring
or
b) The student waives insurance coverage before the summer deadline, typically June 5th.
Students who were enrolled in an NYU-sponsored Student Health Insurance Plan for the Spring semester will continue to be covered for the summer at no additional charge.
Continuing part-time students taking one or more credits this summer should note that they must affirmatively waive summer health insurance coverage, even if they were not covered by NYU student health insurance during the Fall or Spring terms under the default rule. Under the default rule, students taking fewer than six credits will not be automatically enrolled in the NYU-sponsored Student Health Insurance Plan for Fall or Spring. The default rule does not apply in the Summer, so student taking even one credit must affirmatively waive insurance coverage for the Summer term.
Students who submitted a waiver during the current academic year do not have to file another waiver for the Summer term, but they will have to file a new waiver for the next academic year beginning in Fall.
Students have the option of waiving coverage or selecting enrollment in a different plan, by submitting a Student Health Insurance Selection/Waiver Form to the Student Health Insurance Services Office by the June 5th deadline. Students may only waive coverage or select enrollment in a different plan by submitting a selection/waiver form online by the June 5th deadline.
