It is the policy of the University of Rhode Island that all full-time students as well as international students and their dependents have current health insurance to provide coverage for unexpected, extended, and expensive care resulting from accidents and illnesses that are not covered by the Student Health Services fee. All full-time students and all international students and their dependents are required to purchase school health insurance unless evidence of comparable coverage in another plan is provided to the University through a completed waiver form. The waiver process will be online after August 1st at https://health.uri.edu/waiver/. Students may also use a computer in Health Services Potter Building to complete the online waiver.

United Healthcare Student Resources provides the Injury and Sickness Insurance Policy for the University. Please click here to view further information about the plan.
To waive the Accident/Sickness Insurance a student must complete a waiver each year prior to the end of the add period (the first two weeks of classes). Unless the waiver is received, the student will be billed. The Accident/Sickness Insurance is optional for non-international, part-time matriculating students. Students who elect insurance coverage through the University are also required to pay the Health Services fee each semester they are registered students regardless of the number of credits they are carrying.
