All enrolled students must come to campus with health care insurance to cover untoward medical events at off-campus hospitals, emergency rooms, urgent care centers, physician offices, etc. While many students may have insurance through the parent plan, many parent plans may have only coverage of emergency services off campus and this is often inadequate for supporting your student’s success. For these reasons, about half of the enrolled student body has student health insurance through United Healthcare, the currently contracted payer with the University of Illinois.
The Enrollment period for Fall 2021 is August 20 - October 1. All opt-out requests must be received during this period to qualify for waiver review. For more information please click here.
