Health Insurance

Support & Services

Health Insurance is required for all UNCW students. This may be insurance that students currently have (family, employer, etc.), insurance they purchase through the school, or a combination of both plans.

All students are eligible to use the Student Health Center, regardless of your insurance coverage. Extension and distance education students may have to pay a per semester health fee. The fee is $135.00 per semester. 

Student Blue

In order to waive for Fall 2025, Health Insurance policies must be effective September 1st until December 31st.  The cost for the Student Health Insurance Plan for 2024-2025 is still pending DOI approval at this time.
