Complete Your Health Information
Health Requirements — Students are expected to complete all health requirements electronically on the student health portal at least 2 weeks prior to their scheduled advising appointment or 2 weeks before the first day of classes.
NOTE: Please note that all full time Undergraduate Students are automatically enrolled in the University Health Insurance Plan and are assessed a fee for the policy on their term bill. Domestic students who are covered under a private health insurance plan, may opt to decline the University’s insurance coverage, and waive this fee by completing the Insurance Waiver Form by the designated deadline. Requests for an insurance waiver must be received by the term due date. This is also the date the student’s bill is due. Missed deadlines will result in mandatory participation in the University’s Student Health Insurance Plan and may also be subject to late payment fees. University policy requires All registered International students taking at least one credit to purchase Centenary University’s Health Insurance.
AS A REMINDER: New students admitted in Spring semesters will be insured only until the August date on the policy. STUDENTS MUST COMPLETE A NEW WAIVER FORM IN THE FALL FOR THE NEXT ACADEMIC YEAR AND ANNUALLY THEREAFTER (this form will be available to complete by June 1st each year).

Students should check their bills and financial aid online regularly. Fall bills will be emailed to your Centenary email when they are available for viewing.
