I. Policy

Medical (health) insurance is required for all full-time students (domestic and international), all student residents and all part-time international students. Students will be enrolled in and charged for the CUA Student Medical Plan unless a waiver is obtained. Waiver must be submitted online via  www.srstudentcenter.com

All Students must be prepared to demonstrate that they are covered by a comparable health insurance policy. This waiver must be completed for each year of enrollment by the established waiver deadline.

A student medical insurance plan, provided by a third party, currently United HealthCare, is available to CUA students. The plan is a student-focused, affordable health insurance policy that protects students at school, at home and while traveling or studying abroad. The student medical insurance plan provides coverage beginning Aug. 14 at 12:01 a.m. of the plan year to Aug. 14 at 12:01 a.m. the following year.

A domestic student is covered for the full policy period whether or not he or she remains a student at CUA. International student coverage terminates when the student returns to the student's home country. Part-time domestic students may purchase the student medical plan upon request. Any student enrolled in the insurance plan may enroll his or her spouse and/or dependents by direct application to the insurance company.

The student medical plan charge is not refundable or transferable. A student incorrectly billed for the student medical plan must provide notification before the end of late registration of the semester in which the incorrect billing occurred.
