Health Insurance that Meets Your Requirements
Our Student Health Insurance plan meets all of these requirements on both the Select and Elite levels. Choosing either of these plans over UNC Charlotte’s school sponsored plan will save you a considerable amount of money.

If you do choose to waive the school sponsored plan, your dates of coverage need to be through December 31. You will need to complete an online insurance waiver and send a copy of your policy declaration page to the school for review. The deadline for the waiver form is September 10, 2019.
