Student Insurance Requirement
Due to the extremely high cost of health care in the United States and the importance of adequate health insurance coverage, in July 2006 the College of William and Mary began requiring all full-time undergraduate and graduate students admitted for the Fall 2006 term or after, and all international students to have health insurance coverage as a condition of enrollment.
- All full-time undergraduate and graduate students admitted for the fall 2006 term or after are required to purchase the college-endorsed insurance plan unless proof of other adequate health insurance coverage is furnished by submitting a waiver request that is subsequently approved.
- All International students are automatically enrolled in the college-endorsed insurance plan at registration and the insurance fee will be billed to the student's account in two installments. International students should not complete any health insurance enrollment forms with United HealthCare for their coverage since their accounts will be billed automatically for the coverage and the result would be a double payment to the Insurance Company.
If you have questions concerning a health insurance charge that appeared on your ebill and/or you need to request a waiver, please view the Waiver Information page on the Student Health Center site.
The contact information for health insurance is: [[student.insurance]] or (757) 221-2978
How to View Your eBill
Students will receive an email to their W & M email account when their ebill is available for viewing online. Students may access their bill by clicking on the Self Service tab on myWM and then selecting student services and financial aid, then selecting student account; payment history and then clicking on the view bill link. If students have provided a third party (person who pays the bill) email address to the College, an email will be sent to that address which will include the billing due date and amount due. The third party will not be able to "see" the billing statement. It is the responsibility of the student to forward the information to the appropriate person(s). Subsequent billings for the semester will be created if additional semester charges are added to the account or there has been any activity on the account.
Payment of tuition, fees and other charges owed to the College of William & Mary is the responsibility of the student. Students whose payments are received after the due date will be assessed a late payment fee of up to 10% of the outstanding account balance (not to exceed $100) as prescribed in 2.2-4805 of the Code of Virginia. Failure to receive a bill does not waive the requirement for payment when due and will not prevent the application of a late fee. In addition, all past-due accounts will be submitted to an outside collection agency or the Attorney General's Office for collection. Accounts turned over to an outside agency will be assessed collection fees in the amount of approximately 33 1/3% of the past due balance.
In addition to referral to an outside collection agency, past due accounts will have a restrictive hold placed on them which will prevent registration and also the issuance of transcripts. Registration for the current or future semester(s) may also be cancelled for non-payment.
Students who choose not to attend after registering for courses must follow appropriate procedures to drop their courses and withdraw from school. Failure to follow procedures will result in continued charges for the semester. Please contact the Dean of Students Office at (757) 221-2510 or email at [[doscom]] for additional information.
