Student Health Insurance- University Health Plans (UHP)

Under University policy, all full-time UMDNJ students as well as part-time UMDNJ students who participate in clinical experience as part of their educational programs are required to be covered by health and accident insurance.  All students will be automatically enrolled in the Student Health Insurance Plan unless an online Waiver Form is completed and submitted each year by the student who wishes to waive coverage.  The Waiver Form must be complete online by the August 15th deadline.  The University, in conjunction with Aetna Life Insurance Company, offers a plan which fulfills the UMDNJ insurance requirements.
