Student Health Insurance Program

Mandatory Health Insurance Policy

National Louis University is committed to the health and welfare of all its students and, consequently, all students in the following programs are required to obtain health insurance:

•            Any student enrolled in the following programs within the Kendal College of Culinary and Hospitality at National Louis University: BA Culinary Arts, AAS Culinary Arts, AAS Baking and Pastry, Certificate in Professional Cookery, Certificate in Baking and Pastry.

•            Any student living in university housing

•            International Students

Students are automatically included in this insurance plan and the premium for coverage is added to the tuition billing unless proof of comparable coverage is furnished prior to the waiver deadline. Students who have their own health insurance and wish to opt out must complete a Student Health Insurance Waiver Request Form by the established deadlines.

Insurance details and rates are located on the National Louis University website at www.nl.edu. Students that do not meet the criteria above are not eligible to obtain the student health insurance. In addition to the populations who are auto-enrolled in the health insurance program, any student enrolled in the PSYD or MA program in Clinical Psychology or the DBA program at any NLU campus is eligible to opt-in/request enrollment for themselves, spouse, or dependents.

Deadlines to waive out of this plan are prior to the start of a term (quarter or semester) and specific deadlines are posted to the Student Health Insurance Program website. No exceptions will be made to the waiver deadline.

Waivers will be reviewed by the Division of Student Affairs upon receipt. In order for the waiver to be accepted, the Student Health Insurance Waiver Form must be completed in its entirety. The link to the electronic waiver form is available on the Student Health Insurance Program website. https://nl.edu/student-services/student-health-insurance/
