In order for eligible Hawk Hill and University City students to complete the waiver or the enrollment process, please go to https://studentcenter.uhcsr.com/sju, and click on either the “Enroll Now - Health Insurance” link or the “Waive Your School’s Insurance” link. Students must submit the waiver form by January 29, 2024 or will be automatically enrolled and charged $1,725.00 for spring/summer 2024 coverage.
Having active health insurance while enrolled in the university protects students from interruptions to their academic progress due to unexpected medical bills and ensures students have adequate insurance coverage for basic medical care. Students may opt out/waive if they have comparable coverage in another health insurance plan, which is American-based and Affordable Care Act (ACA) compliant.
