Enrollment in the University-sponsored Health Insurance Plan

The University uses what is called a "hard waiver" system to assure student health coverage. This means that law students enrolled in 9 or more credits will be AUTOMATICALLY enrolled in and billed for the University-sponsored plan. If you want coverage under the University-sponsored plan, do nothing; you are automatically enrolled. (Students enrolled in less than 9 credits who wish to enroll in the student health plan should contact the Bailey Agency directly at their number below; if you do not carry at least a 9-credit load you will not be automatically enrolled.) If you wish to decline the university plan, you must waive it via the Health Insurance Waiver in the PeopleSoft Financials system. Because employers may change the benefits/plans they offer their employees, you must complete a waiver at the start of each school year, even if you completed one the previous year.

In order to complete the waiver process, you must use your 7-digit People Soft student administration system ID to access self service. This ID number can be found at the top left corner of your Student Fee Bill. Log on to your account, and from the HOME page, navigate to:

SA Self Service > Learner Services > Finances > UC Health Insurance Waiver.

Detailed information regarding accessing the student self-service system is available at: www.studentselfservice.uconn.edu.

The on-line waiver is only available through the tenth day of classes.

If you fail to complete the waiver in PeopleSoft, it will be assumed that you accept coverage offered under the University sponsored health insurance plan, and the charge for that coverage will remain on your fee bill.
