You can only enroll in or waive the NYU plans online. There is no paper selection/waiver form.

Many students will be enrolled automatically in either the Basic or Comprehensive Plans. Completing the online enrollment/waiver process will ensure that you are enrolled in the plan of your choice.

  1. Go to the enrollment page between
  2. Fall: June 23 and September 30
    Spring: November 17 and February 10

    • enter information about your current insurance plan. (This information can be found on your insurance card.)

    • You may also enroll in the Stu-Dent program at this time, even if you waived the Basic and Comprehensive Plans.

  9. After you complete the process and submit your selection(s), you will be able to print a confirmation statement. A copy will also be emailed to the address you provided.
