INTERNATIONAL STUDENT PROCESS
International students are automatically enrolled in the Student Health Insurance Plan and do not need to take any action to enroll. International students who have an Embassy Sponsored Insurance Program should contact the Intercultural Center to waive coverage. International students with comparable US-based health insurance, contact University Health Plans at 833-251-1144 or info@univhealthplans.com to discuss waiver options.
ENROLLMENT AND WAIVER PROCESS
The following students are required to confirm enrollment or waive coverage for the 2022-2023 academic year by the deadline.
Enrollment and waiver forms are located in the navigation menu to the left. Students referenced above who do not complete an enrollment or waiver form by the deadline will be automatically enrolled in the student health insurance plan.
WAIVER REQUIREMENTS
If a student is currently insured under another insurance policy that is comparable to the RWU Student Health Insurance Plan and does not wish to have coverage under the University-sponsored plan, the student may waive out of the insurance by completing the waiver form by the deadline. It is important you review your current insurance policy to confirm it meets the following criteria:
The following plans do not meet the waiver requirements:
If your comparable plan will end before August 13, 2023, while you are in school, you must either enroll in the Student Health Insurance Plan within 31 days of your other plan’s end date or provide comparable coverage elsewhere.
Students will be asked to provide details about their current insurance plans during the waiver process.
ACCESS THE ENROLLMENT OR WAIVER FORM
To waive or enroll, click on the appropriate link, either “Waiver Form” or “Enrollment Form,” in the navigation menu to the left, complete all required information, and click submit. Confirming enrollment before the deadline ensures that your information is transferred to the insurance company on time.
Waiver Confirmation: Once you have completed the waiver process, an e-mail automatically will be generated and sent to your student RWU e-mail address. It will confirm that you submitted a waiver and if you did so in error to contact University Health Plans. Please print and keep this confirmation for your reference.
Waiver processed, but the charge is still on the tuition bill? Please allow 5-7 business days for your waiver to be processed. If you still are not seeing the credit, Undergraduate and Graduate Students should contact the Bursar’s Office at (401) 254-3520, and Law Students should contact the Office of Student Finance and Records at (401) 254-4657.
Please contact University Health Plans at 833-251-1144 or info@univhealthplans.com with questions about the enrollment or waiver process.
VOLUNTARY ENROLLMENT IN THE STUDENT HEALTH INSURANCE PLAN

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR NEW STUDENTS
