Subject:	Reminder: Student Health Insurance Waiver & Enrollment Forms are open!

The 2026-27 Student Health Insurance Waiver & Enrollment Forms are open!

As a reminder, all domestic students must submit a waiver or enroll in the student health insurance (now offered with dental coverage) on an annual basis.

International students are automatically enrolled in the student health insurance plan and do not need to take action. International students who wish to waive must complete a paper waiver form each year (email healthinsurance@ringling.edu to request this form).

You will see a health insurance fee on your student account for the annual health insurance premium. The charge will be removed after your waiver for the 2026-27 year has been submitted. Please note: It may take 3-5 days for the charge to be removed from your account.

The deadline to submit a waiver is Friday, August 21, 2026!

Visit www.universityhealthplans.com/ringling to submit your waiver or enrollment form.

If a waiver is not submitted by August 21st, you will be automatically enrolled in the Student Health Insurance Plan for the year. Once enrolled, you will have coverage for the year retroactive to August 1st, regardless of other insurance you may also have. We cannot accept late waivers after the deadline has passed. For additional information about the plan, please visit universityhealthplans.com/ringling.

Questions? Please contact University Health Plans at info@univhealthplans.com or call 1-833-251-1145.
