Student Health Insurance
Student health insurance coverage is mandatory at Clarkson University for non-distance program students. Students must either have adequate health insurance through their parent/guardian, their own coverage, or enroll in Clarkson University’s provided coverage through United Health Care.
Students that have coverage through their parent/guardian or their own coverage will need to provide proof of coverage by completing the appropriate waiver form through their myCU account. The information entered in the waiver form will be verified by the health insurance administrator (Haylor, Freyer & Coon, Inc.). Coverages will need to meet minimum standards as determined by the health insurance administrator in conjunction with the University’s Director of Risk Management; if your coverage is deemed not to have met the minimum standards, then you will need to adjust your coverage to meet the minimum standards or become enrolled in Clarkson University’s provided coverage through United Health Care. Furthermore, coverages for 2020 must be active on or prior to 8/1/20; any exemptions to this date will require approval from the University’s Director of Risk Management.
The 2020-2021 student health insurance rate for Undergraduate students is $1,493 for the period of 1/1/21 – 7/31/21.
The 2020-2021 student health insurance rate for Graduate students is $1,911 for the period of 1/1/21 – 7/31/21.
2020-2021 Instructions:
To assure clearance for student check-in, please log-in to your myCU account after 11/15/20. Within your To-Do Tile, there will be an Activity Guide for you to complete and if your goal is to complete the waiver form, then the Activity Guide will direct you to the health insurance administrator’s website to do so. The deadline to complete the waiver form is 1/27/21; students that fail to meet the deadline will be automatically enrolled in Clarkson University’s provided coverage through United Health Care and consequently be responsible for the cost; there will not be any exceptions made for failing to meet the deadline.
Please email studentfinancials@clarkson.edu if you have questions related to the instructions.
