The New School Student Health Insurance Program includes Student Health Services and Basic Accident Plan (Plan 1) and The New School Student Accident and Sickness Plan (Plan 2). Both plans cover the costs of care rendered outside of Student Health Services.

All degree, diploma, online only, visiting, mobility (study abroad), Lang and Parsons consortium, graduate certificate program, and both graduate and undergraduate degree program non-matriculating students are automatically charged a Student Health Services Fee and a Health Insurance Fee.

The Student Health Services Fee ($250 per semester) enables students to use Student Health Services. Plan 1 coverage is automatically provided for those who pay the Student Health Services Fee. The New School Student Accident and Sickness Plan Insurance Fee, Plan 2 coverage ($1,714/year with $691 charged in the fall and $1,023 charged in the spring), enables students to use services outside Student Health Services. Depending on course load and status, you may be eligible to decline these services by submitting a completed Online Waiver Form by the posted Waiver Deadline Date.

Please read the Plan Brochure carefully. It describes services, insurance coverage and limitations, procedures to waive, and important deadlines. It is your responsibility to understand the nature and scope of benefits and limitations as well as to abide by posted deadlines.

Health care is expensive. If you plan to waive participation in the Student Health Insurance Plan, be sure your plan covers care in New York City. The New School strongly encourages you to consider remaining enrolled in the Student Health Insurance Plan.
