Student Health Insurance

Students must have health insurance coverage.

The University of New England provides group plans for the consideration of Undergraduate, Graduate, and Medical students through Consolidated Health Plan  as a convenience.

All students enrolled in at least 7 credits or more are required by the University to have some type of health insurance, and will be billed automatically for health insurance with every fall billing. Included with the fall billing, students will receive literature that will explain the plan in greater detail and instructions on enrollment/waiver process.

Students may accept the University-suggested health insurance plan, may locate their own, comparable plan or if already covered by another equivalent plan, may opt out of the program by submitting a waiver. All UNE students are required to either enroll or waive the Health Insurance Plan by going to the Consolidated Health Plan (CHP) website. The insurance fee will be removed from the student bill only if proof of other insurance coverage and an online waiver are completed by the due dates below:

Summer 2012 open enrollment and waiver session from April 25, 2012 through May 27, 2012 

Fall 2012/2013 open enrollment and waiver session from July 1, 2012 through August 19, 2012

Spring 2013 open enrollment and waiver session from December 17, 2012 through January 15, 2013
