Published May 22, 2023

The waiver process for health insurance opens Wednesday, May 24, 2023 for the 2023-2024 academic year.

Most students and international scholars must carry health insurance coverage for the duration of their academic registration at UB. You can enroll in health insurance plans through UB or SUNY or request a waiver if you have a comparable plan. Enrollment in the UB student plans is automatic when the credit hour threshold is met. You must have an approved waiver on file to have this charge removed from your student account prior to the waiver deadline.
