STUDENT HEALTH INSURANCE
CATEGORIES OF STUDENTS
You are a Compulsory Student:
Compulsory (Resident/dorm students, international, athletes) Students will be enrolled automatically, and charged for, LIU’s Student Health Plan. Compulsory Students can waive coverage from LIU if they have other valid coverage, but only by completing the waiver process before the waiver deadline.
Once enrolled, the policy remains in effect for the full policy period, even if you withdraw from the University, or from classes, or your Compulsory status subsequently changes. The annual policy period begins on 8/15/08 (on 1/1/09 for newly enrolled Spring students, on 5/15/09 for newly enrolled Summer students) and terminates on 8/15/09.
