
All domestic students taking 7 credit hours or international students
taking 1 or more credit hours are required to have a health
insurance plan while they are enrolled in the University.
All students are automatically billed for a health insurance plan
offered by Ohio University.
Domestic students who are covered by a comparable insurance
plan may waive the University-offered plan; you can do this
electronically when you receive your electronic fee bill.
You must waive the insurance by the deadline waiver date
indicated for that quarter.
The WellBeing health fee is different from the insurance fee. If you
have private insurance you can waive the insurance plan, but you
may not want to waive the health fee.
