Waive or Enroll Health Insurance

All students will be billed for Ithaca College health insurance each semester. You may follow the steps below to submit a waiver or enrollment form.
Billing Change

Health insurance will be billed by semester. Students will still only need to do the waiver or complete enrollment at the beginning of each academic year. The waiver for 2026-27 will open on July 1st.

Please note

Once the waiver is submitted, it will take 10-15 business days for an insurance waiver credit to be applied to the student account. It is the responsibility of the student to ensure that a waiver has been submitted in a timely manner for the waiver credit to appear on the billing account before the due date.

It may be possible to have this mandatory coverage waived if you have a health plan where coverage is comparable to the Ithaca College plan. If you would like to have a health plan assessed for comparability, please do so before you purchase it by contacting University Health Plans by phone at (800) 250-8996 or email info@univhealthplans.com to request the International Student Waiver Form.
