The University requires that ALL students have supplemental health insurance. This will help cover the cost of health care that can not be obtained through the XXX Health Center. All students carrying X units or more, and international students are automatically enrolled in the Student Health Insurance Plan.

Enrollment may be waived only if documented proof of adequate health coverage, from another plan, is presented to the Student Health Services Office at the Student Health Center on your campus.

Because the Health Insurance Plan works in conjunction with the University's XXX Health Centers, all students enrolled in the Health Insurance Plan are also required to pay an additional Student Health Service Fee.

All insurance enrollments or waivers must be completed during registration week prior to the deadline date, at the XXX on the campus where the student is enrolled. To waive coverage in the Student Health Insurance Plan, students must meet the University’s requirements.

A detailed description of the plan is available online, or you may request this information by email from the Insurance Coordinator at XXXXXX@uic.edu, or from:
