Still haven't taken action yet for the Student Health Insurance Plan? The deadline is SEPTEMBER 10.
Emails continue to go out from Student Blue and from SHS about the Student Health Insurance Plan for Fall 2026 to students who still have not enrolled or received an approved waiver.
All eligible students are automatically billed for the Student Blue plan ($1,312.00 UNDERGRADUATE / $2,366.50 GRADUATE) with their tuition bill.
The charge on the bill does NOT mean active coverage yet. If they want the coverage, students must enroll in the plan to activate their coverage.
If they waive out, the charge does not drop from the bill, but a waiver credit is applied to the tuition bill as a payment for the same amount within 24-72 hours after the waiver is approved by Student Blue.
Emails continue to go out for anyone with:
Pending/manual waiver: there is nothing to do except wait until their waiver is approved or denied.
Denied waiver: students should have received an email from Student Blue stating the reason as to why it was denied. The student just needs to resubmit the waiver with whatever information is needed. We highly recommend including a copy of the front and back of their card.
Voided waiver/enrollment: need to do something!
Those who have taken NO action yet: need to do something!
If there are any questions or issues with the Student Blue website, account access, login issues, etc call Student Blue at 888-351-8283.
