KPCOM - Student Handbook 2023-2024

Nova Southeastern University Student Handbook 24 A.5 Flexibility in Policies University policies are intended to describe some of the expectations of members of the university community, as well as outline the university’s community policies and programs. They are intended to be used as guidelines and do not create an express or implied contract which cannot be changed or modified. Circumstances not specifically addressed in university policies will be handled on a case-bycase basis by the appropriate official selected by the university. As the need may arise, the university reserves the right to, in its sole discretion, modify, revise, supplement, rescind, suspend, terminate, or change its policies, procedures, programs, activities, and services, in whole or in part, to the fullest extent permitted by law. A.6 Health Policies NSU Student Health Insurance Requirement NSU requires all students to carry adequate health insurance coverage. Therefore, all NSU students will automatically be enrolled in the NSU Student Health Insurance Plan and their student accounts will be charged when they register for classes. Students who reside and take classes outside of the United States are exempt from this requirement. Students who already have health insurance must opt out of the NSU Student Health Insurance Plan each academic year by the given waiver deadline for their program. For detailed information, including waiver deadlines, access to the online waiver, NSU Student Health Insurance Plan features, costs, and more, students should visit the Office of the University Bursar website.
