Student Health Insurance Fee & Waiver Process

All OWU students are required to have comprehensive health insurance that provides access to healthcare in Central Ohio. A health insurance fee will be posted to all student accounts but can be waived if students have comparable coverage and submit a waiver request. The deadline for Spring semester waiver requests is January 22, 2027, and additional details can be found HERE. Students should watch their OWU email for a waiver approval or for any requests for additional information. Students who do not waive the fee will have medical insurance coverage through United Healthcare, and benefits can be found HERE.  Waiver requests cannot be accepted after the deadline.
