Health Insurance for Dorm Residents

• Students living in the dorms on campus are required to maintain health insurance at all times throughout the academic year.

• Cofinity provides health insurance for all students. The cost is provided below:

• $1,391 for undergraduate students per annum, and,

• $1516 for graduate students per annum.

• Students may opt out of Cofinity-provided health insurance by completing required online opt-out documentation by September 26,

Waiving Student Health Insurance (opting out)

• The procedure for opting out of student health insurance is detailed in a one-page document included in your SOAR parent folder.

• Failing to complete and submit the online Cofinity Health Insurance waiver form will result in the following:

• A charge for the full premium and corresponding hold on the student

account;

• Automatic enrollment in Cofinity Health Insurance for one year.

• Only dorm residents need to waive student health insurance. This procedure and process does not apply to commuter students.

Mandatory TB Screening

• The UDM Wellness Center requires that a Tuberculosis skin test report (TB

Questionnaire) be on file for all new international students and new incoming freshman students.

• A TB skin test or chest x-ray must be performed in the U.S. or Canada within 12 months of the student’s first semester on campus.

• Failure to complete and provide the TB Questionnaire, and to obtain screening, as needed, will result in a hold being placed on your student’s account and an inability to register for the next semester.

• Please make sure that your student signs and submits the TB

Questionnaire by mailing it or dropping it off at the Wellness Center.

Health Wellness and Promotion

• We look forward to promoting health and awareness with your student.

• Thank you for completing the TB Questionnaire and Health

Insurance (Opt-out Information) forms.
