Summer 2009 Health Insurance Waiver

Participation in a summer health insurance program is compulsory for all new international students and all domestic students admitted to their program for the summer and enrolled in 6 or more credit hours. SAIC's health insurance program may be waived by printing, completing, and submitting a health insurance waiver form per the link below.

Note: The summer waiver form is for the summer term only. Students wishing to waive insurance for the fall and spring semesters must complete a separate online waiver in PeopleSoft Self-Service. Questions regarding all waiver processes can be directed to Student Financial Services, Sullivan Center, 36 S. Wabash Ave., Suite 1218.

Summer 2009 Health Insurance Waiver Form

Domestic students - 2008-2009

Unless domestic students submit an insurance waiver through Self-Service**, they will automatically receive SAIC's health insurance and the fee for health insurance coverage will be charged to the student's account each term.

If a student has comparable coverage and wishes to have the School's insurance waived for the fall semester or for the full year, a waiver must be completed online through Self-Service** by the first day of classes for the fall semester. Spring semester only waivers must be completed online through Self-Service** by the first day of classes for the spring semester. Letters and phone calls will NOT be accepted as insurance waivers.

Health Insurance Coverage is also available, upon request through Self-Service** to all domestic degree-seeking students enrolled in less than 12 hours. The fee for health insurance is then added to the student's account each semester for which coverage is requested. Please request health insurance coverage online through Self-Service** by the first day of classes for the fall semester. Spring only request must be made online through Self-Service** by the first day of classes for the spring semester.

Reminder: If a domestic student registers for 12 or more credit hours and then drops to less than 12 hours before the end of the add/drop period, the health insurance charge will automatically be removed from their account and health insurance coverage will not be provided. The health insurance charge will be added back to the account if the student requests health insurance online through Self-Service.**

** The health insurance waiver and request can be found on the "Academics" and/or "Finances" pages online in Self-Service available in the SSAIC portal.

Exchange and international students

Exchange and International students should return their completed waiver forms through Self-Service.** by the first day of classes for the fall semester or full year. Spring semester only waivers are due by the first day of classes for the spring semester. Letters and phone calls will NOT be accepted as insurance waivers.

International students who have graduated and are on Optional Practical Training and who wish to have SAIC health insurance coverage should return their completed request forms to the Office of International Affairs by the first day of classes for the fall semester.
