Waivers
All full-time, degree-seeking students on the Danforth Campus are required to have health insurance. Students may waive out of the plan if they can provide proof of adequate coverage. Students on an F-1 or J-1 visa are not allowed to waive out of the plan unless they are on a U.S.-based employer plan through a U.S.-based insurance company.
Sam Fox School students who wish to waive out of coverage, or enroll eligible dependents, must do so prior to September 5, 2020. Full details are available here.
