Student Health Insurance
Student Health Insurance (SHI) is authorized by University of Cincinnati Board Rule 40-25-01. Students are assessed the health insurance premium if they are enrolled for 6 or more units/credit hours, or enrolled in an equivalent level of Coop or Experiential Learning, in a term.
Waive UC Student Health Insurance
Students covered under another qualifying health insurance policy are encouraged to complete the Student Health Insurance Waiver located on their "To-Do List" in the Catalyst student portal. The task will direct the student to the on-line waiver form which, if approved, will be valid for the entire academic year. More information regarding this charge and the waiver process can be found at UC Student Health Insurance.
