Health Insurance – International Plans
International-based plans often do not meet University Insurance Criteria for waiver. For this reason, we recommend checking the criteria carefully before deciding to purchase insurance from an international-based company. Your plan must meet all of the University Insurance Criteria to qualify for waiver of the University-sponsored insurance.
All full-time students must complete the Online Health Insurance Process during the appropriate open enrollment period, which includes the waiver process. If your request to waive is denied, you can appeal the denial or you can enroll in the UR Student Health insurance plan. Appeals must be submitted by September 15.
