Student Insurance Waiver Information
All full-time undergraduate and graduate students admitted Fall 2006 or after will be enrolled in the college-endorsed Student Health Insurance Plan and the insurance premium will be billed to your student account in two installments (fall and spring semester) UNLESS proof of other adequate health insurance coverage is furnished. Students who already have health insurance for the entire academic year must submit a waiver request by the deadline each academic year, and the waiver request must be approved to avoid being enrolled in the Student Health Insurance Plan.
To complete the waiver request, you will need your unique 9-digit W&M Student ID number (beginning with 93) and insurance information. The Waiver FAQ's may answer any questions you have regarding the waiver process.
Deadlines
Waiver requests are due by January 10 for new students entering the College Spring 2010 and July 1 for continuing students or new students entering the College Fall 2010. No adjustments or refunds will be made for students who miss the deadline. For Fall 2009, waiver requests will no longer be accepted so students who were enrolled in and billed for the Student Insurance are responsible for the charge on their student account.
Domestic Students
Insurance plans submitted for waiver must provide coverage for the entire academic year or for the entire Spring academic term for new students entering in Spring 2010. This is a mandatory requirement.
If your plan meets this requirement, please submit the online 2009-2010 Domestic Student Insurance Waiver Request between December 1, 2009 and January 10, 2010. THE FALL 2009 WAIVER PERIOD HAS ALREADY ENDED.
