Nova Southeastern University students can waive enrollment in the NSU Student Insurance Plan if they have alternative insurance that provides coverage that is at least equivalent to the NSU plan. To be eligible for a waiver, your insurance plan must meet all of the following six requirements outlined in the Affordable Care Act:
Students who are NSU employees are subject to the student health insurance waiver requirement and must opt-out if they carry comparable health insurance.
Waivers must be submitted by your program's deadline. Failure to meet this deadline will result in automatic enrollment in the Student Health Insurance Plan for the entire semester/term, and you will be responsible for payment. You will have another chance to opt out, subject to the next waiver deadline. Please note that an approved waiver is subject to audit for accuracy and does not guarantee final approval.
In order to access the waiver, you must be registered and charged for student health insurance. Log into NSU eBill to monitor your account.

The health insurance rates and deadlines coincide with your academic calendar. Your coverage will remain active until the end of your academic year, which may extend beyond your graduation or class end dates. Contact the Student Health Insurance Department if you're unsure about your coverage start date.
