FAQ UD Student Health Insurance
Why am I required to have health insurance at the University of Dayton?Expenses for the treatment of injury or illness can be unexpected and costly, and health insurance is a necessity for everyone.
Am I required to enroll in the University of Dayton’s Health Insurance plan?
To ensure your health and well-being, the University of Dayton requires students to carry health insurance that covers them for the entire calendar year. For your convenience, you will be automatically enrolled in the University’s health insurance plan, which will be billed to your student account. If you already possess health insurance that is comparable to the University’s, you may request to be excluded by completing an online waiver form. In order to avoid being automatically enrolled in the University plan, the waiver form must be completed by March 22, 2013 for all new incoming students attending the spring B semester. The information you submit will be evaluated to determine if it meets University guidelines.
When will I be billed?
The University will send a bill at the beginning of April, 2013.
How will I know if my waiver application has been accepted?
You will receive an e-mail notifying you that it has been either accepted or denied. If denied you will be automatically enrolled in the program.
What happens if I do not complete the waiver?
You will be automatically enrolled and billed for the coverage.
If my waiver request is denied, how can I appeal?
Email studentinsurance@udayton.edu with your appeal request and contact information.

I am an international student and already have insurance from a provider in my home country. Is this acceptable?
To be eligible for a waiver, your insurance must meet certain conditions. One of these conditions is that the insurance company has a claims office in the US and a toll free telephone line for claims inquiries.
I'm an international student and plan to travel home during vacations. Why do I need to be covered if I'm not in the country?
It is difficult to predict when illness/injury will arise. That's why we want all of our students to have continuous coverage to guard against sudden illness/injury.
