NJCU is not offering a student health insurance plan for the 2022-2023 academic year. 

 

New Jersey City University
STUDENT HEALTH INSURANCE PLAN

2021-2022 Academic Year

Health Insurance Requirement and Eligibilty

Under the New Jersey law, NJCU must offer health insurance to its full-time students. NJCU meets the requirement by offering a Student Health Insurance Plan. NJCU requires all full-time undergraduates taking 12 or more credits and graduates taking 9 or more credits to carry health insurance. All full-time students are automatically charged and must take action by completing an online waiver form if they wish to waive the fee. Please note: Students enrolled in a fully online program are exempt from this requirement.

Plan Highlights

The Student Health Insurance Plan will continue to be insured by Aetna Student Health. 

NJCU has partnered with University Health Plans to administer the plan and help with waiver, enrollment, or benefit-related questions. If you have questions about the waiver or enrollment process, please contact University Health Plans at 833-251-1252 or info@univhealthplans.com

ANNUAL Waiver and Enrollment Process

The cost of the health insurance will be charged to the student account in the fall and spring. While the charges are broken up by semester, the waiver and enrollment period is once per academic year. 

Students that are enrolled in the fall and change to part-time status or are no longer attending for the spring semester will not be charged for spring coverage and the plan will terminate on December 31, 2021.

Students who do not complete a waiver form by the deadline date will be automatically enrolled in the plan and responsible for the cost.

Important Notes

Alternative Insurance Options

If you would like to see if you qualify for other forms of health insurance like Medicaid or CHIP, please visit the healthcare.gov website.

Qualifying Event

Students who waive their insurance in the fall may not enroll in the spring semester. Students who waive are eligible to enroll if there is a Qualifying Life Event that causes them to lose other insurance. Please contact University Health Plans to enroll (within 31 days of the event).
