Welcome  

Bowling Green State University has implemented a Hard Waiver Health Insurance Program. This program states that all domestic students taking eight or more credits hours on the main campus, and all international students regardless of credit hours are required to have health insurance coverage. This resolution does not apply to domestic students exclusively at BGSU Firelands or distance-learning students.

Under the “required, hard waiver” program, students must have health insurance that meets the basic minimum requirements set by the University. If students do not wish to purchase the BGSU offered Student Insurance Plan, student must have alternative health insurance coverage, provide that information to the University, and complete a waiver providing their current health insurance coverage information. If this alternative coverage does not meet the basic minimum requirements, the student must purchase the University offered Student Insurance Plan.

Starting October 20, 2011, domestic students can log onto your MyBGSU and select the “Student Insurance Requirement” link. International Students are required to stop in the Student Insurance Office to either enroll or waive.

Spring Semester 2012 deadline to waive out of or to enroll into the Student Health Plan is January 24, 2012.
