Insurance Forms
New York University students in degree-granting programs are required to maintain health insurance. Many are enrolled automatically in a NYU-sponsored student health insurance plan as a part of the University's registration process. NYU sponsors several student health insurance plans and automatic enrollment varies according to school, credit load, and visa status. If you maintain your own health insurance, you may waive the NYU plans (and corresponding charge) in which your school automatically enrolled you. To select, change, or waive coverage, you must complete the online enrollment/waiver process prior to the established deadlines.

Federal Health Care Reform Act
The University has been tracking the recently approved Federal Health Care Reform Act as it relates to Student Health Insurance Plans. Federal agencies will be developing guidelines to be shared with insurance companies.
NYU's health insurance requirements for matriculated students will remain the same as in past years. If students are maintaining alternate coverage as a result of the reform act, such coverage must still meet NYU's criteria in order to waive the NYU-sponsored Student Health Insurance Plans. We will continue to monitor the situation and keep the NYU community updated.
