A.4 Health Policies Health Insurance Students enrolled in certain programs are required to carry adequate health insurance coverage. Generally, this applies to most programs in the Health Professions Division (HPD), all traditional undergraduate day students, and all on-campus residential students. Students in a mandatory program and residing in the residence halls will automatically be enrolled in the NSU Student Health Insurance Plan, and their student account will be charged accordingly. Students insured under another insurance plan must opt out of the NSU Student Health Insurance Plan each academic year by the given waiver deadline for their program. The effective dates for coverage under the NSU Student Health Insurance Plan will coincide with the academic year, not the calendar year.
