Health Insurance Requirements
Insurance Requirements for a Healthy Campus.
Academic Year Waiver
The health insurance plan waiver period for those enrolled for the Fall 2022 semester will remain open through August 26, 2022. Those who did not submit a waiver will be enrolled for annual coverage which terminates July 31, 2023. If you are graduating or leaving the university before the start of the spring semester, your coverage will end on January 31, 2023.
For incoming students newly enrolled for Spring 2023, the waiver site will open upon registration and financial assessments being posted to the tuition account. The waiver deadline for those who are newly enrolled for Spring 2023 is January 20, 2023.
Questions can be directed via email to studentinsurance@creighton.edu.
About the Requirement
To ensure students’ academic success, Creighton requires that all full-time students (Undergraduate = 12 credits/semester; Graduate = 8 credits/semester) be covered by a comprehensive health insurance plan for the entire academic year.
- New and returning students are auto-enrolled in the University-sponsored Student Health Insurance Plan.
- The university policy on student health insurance can be accessed in The Creighton University Student Handbook.
- If a student already has a comprehensive insurance plan (see the FAQ section below for requirements), they are eligible to waive the University-sponsored coverage after registering for classes. Students will have access to the waiver process after the insurance charge is posted to their tuition account.
- The annual online waiver process closes on August 26, 2022 (the site will reopen in December for new spring-semester students). If no waiver is approved at the beginning of the fall semester, the student will be enrolled for annual coverage. Students will have access to the waiver process after the insurance charge is posted to their tuition account.
- The premium for the University-sponsored Student Health Insurance Plan will remain on the student’s account unless the waiver process is completed before the deadline.
- When the Student Health Education and Compliance Office becomes aware of a lapse in the student’s insurance coverage, the student will be automatically enrolled in the University-Sponsored Student Health Insurance Plan and the tuition statement will reflect a charge for the entire premium.
