2012-2013 Health Insurance Information

New Jersey law mandates that all full-time students (12 Undergraduate or 9 Graduate credits) have health insurance.

For insurance purposes, a Full-time student is based upon registration for On-Campus courses or PHD Research and excludes Web courses.
A student may request insurance eligibility if Full-time status includes Web courses by contacting the Student Service Center.

Students are automatically enrolled in the insurance plan and a premium for coverage is added to their tuition bill unless proof of comparable coverage is furnished.
Students who are enrolled for coverage with University Health Plans must use the Temporary Policy Information located on the brochure for their Undergraduate or Graduate class level until they receive their permanent insurance ID card.
