All OWU students are required to have health insurance to ensure that they have access to healthcare when they need it. Students are enrolled in coverage through Wellfleet Insurance, and a fee is posted to their student accounts. For students who already have comparable health insurance, however, a waiver of the Wellfleet coverage and fee can be requested through our insurance partner, Academic HealthPlans. Other coverage is considered to be comparable if it is comprehensive, ACA compliant, and provides access to providers in the central Ohio area.
The fee can only be waived after it has been posted in early December. More information about this policy, coverage benefits, and the waiver process can be found on the OWU Student Health Insurance page.
