How to Waive Insurance - A Tutorial

Domestic Students

If you do not wish to purchase the policy offered by Bowling Green State University, you can decline it by providing information which documents that you have comparable coverage.  To avoid paying for the policy offered by BGSU, you must waive the coverage by the posted deadline.  You can waive by:

• Logging into your MyBGSU and selecting the link on the left titled "Student Insurance Requirement".
• Read and follow steps.
• Once successfully completed, you will receive a confirmation page.  Print for your records.
• Please feel free to email us if you have any questions at studentins@bgsu.edu

If a student is under the age of 18, the student and parent/guardian must complete a paper waiver and BOTH must sign the waiver.  Please contact the Student Insurance Office to obtain this waiver.

International Students

All international students must come into the Student Insurance Office to complete waiver or enroll in insurance.  Emails from the Student Insurance Office are sent to you until you complete this requirement.

All Students

Waivers must be submitted once every academic year.  Please watch your Student Center on MyBGSU for checklists.
