UNC Mandatory Requirements

Students attending 91Èȱ¬Íø are required to show proof of valid medical insurance coverage or must enroll in the mandatory UNC System health plan.

Requirements are:

• enrolled in a degree-seeking program, AND
• enrollment in a minimum of 6 on-campus credit hours, AND 
• eligible to pay the campus student health fee

Students that are enrolled in distance education programs are not eligible for enrollment in the student health plan because they do not meet these requirements.

Each student that meets these requirements must take action regarding insurance coverage. If you do not take action regarding waiver or enrollment, you will be automatically enrolled in the UNC system health plan after the waiver process has ended. Students that wait for the automatic enrollment process will have insurance coverage effective on August 1^st (for Fall enrollees) and January 1^st (for Spring enrollees) BUT may not receive an insurance card until mid-semester. Blue Cross Blue Shield of NC will offer the Student Blue product again this year as the plan for the UNC System.

Student Blue Insurance

Two plan options are available through StudentBlue, a lower cost value plan and a premium plan that has a higher premium with richer benefits.   Students will be automatically enrolled in the Value plan after the wavier period has concluded.   Any student that would prefer the Premium plan must manually enroll and choose the Premium option. 

Note:  The value plan will not satisfy insurance requirements for a student travelling to the US with a J-1 Visa. Please refer to 91Èȱ¬Íø Global Visa Information for more details.
