Once you complete the health insurance waiver and submit it online, the charge will be removed from your Bryant student account. Failure to complete the waiver by the deadline will result in a student being enrolled and responsible for the student health insurance charge. Please note, if you are graduating in March 2026, you are waiving coverage effective 1/1 - 3/31.

• Plan is currently active and provides coverage for the entire calendar year while a registered student.
• Plan provides comprehensive coverage (access to doctors, specialists, hospitals, labs, pharmacies, and behavioral health without restriction or limitations).
