BYUH Student Insurance
BYU-Hawaii requires all ¾ time students to have adequate medical insurance for the duration of their enrollment at BYU-Hawaii. In other words, you must have insurance the entire time you are a continuing BYU-Hawaii student,
including during any short breaks from school.
To satisfy the University's insurance requirement, you must enroll in either the BYU-Hawaii Student Health Plan or a group medical plan provided by your employer, your spouse or parents' employer. For a medical insurance plan to meet the BYU Hawaii Student Health Plan, it must:
- Provide at least 80% coverage for all major medical expenses, including physician, hospital, and ancillary services
- Have an individual annual deductible of no more than $500
- Have an annual plan limit of no less than $25,000
- Include care and treatment in Hawaii
If you choose to use your private medical plan to waive the Student Health Plan, you must complete an online waiver form showing adequate insurance coverage at the beginnig of your first semester/term and at the beginning of each academic year thereafter (Fall semester). You are responsible to notify the Student Insurance office of any changes in your private plan (i.e. termination or benefits changes). Failure to notify the Student Insurance office of changes in your private plan or giving false information is a violation of the BYU Hawaii Honor Code and will be considered justification for dismissal from BYU Hawaii.
All INTERNATIONAL students are reqired to enroll in the BYU Hawaii Student Health Plan. Married international students are required to add their spouse and dependent(s) in the BYU Hawaii Student Health Plan. Please come to the Student Insurance office located at the Lorenzo Snow Administration Building to complete the enrollment form.
Students who are enrolled ¾ time per semester/term and who do not properly complete an online waiver form as indicated above, will be automatically enrolled for individual coverage and assessed the appropriate premium.
If you drop below the ¾ time per semester/term or at any time during the academic year (including taking a semester or term off), you will continue to be enrolled in the BYU Hawaii Student Health Plan.
