INSURANCE WAIVERS
You are required to have health insurance for each semester in which you are enrolled on campus. Having health insurance is required. However, you do not necessarily have to use the student health plan. Please read the following information to determine whether you are eligible to waive the student health plan. Please submit your waiver request through ECI using the instructions on this page.
