Waive or Purchase Your University Health Insurance

Montclair State University requires undergraduate students enrolled in twelve (12) or more credits and graduate students enrolled in nine (9) or more credits to carry health insurance. All students that meet this criterion are automatically assessed the applicable charge for this health insurance coverage and will be responsible for this charge unless coverage is waived as described below. The waiver/enrollment website is officially open!

If you wish to waive the University Health Insurance, you must provide proof of alternative coverage by completing the online waiver prior to the extended deadline of Monday, October 12, 2020 (Original deadline was Monday, September 28, 2020). Insurance information is not accepted at the University.

• If you wish to enroll in (purchase) the University Health Insurance, administered by Aetna Student Health, you may self enroll prior to the University enrollment period.
• If you do not complete a waiver by Monday, October 12, 2020 (Original deadline was Monday, September 28, 2020), you will be automatically enrolled in the Aetna University Health Insurance after the waiver deadline.
