Health Insurance Waiver Request

What Is It?

The Health Insurance Waiver Request service allows international students to request an exemption from the SLCC international student health insurance requirement.

Students who have private health insurance coverage may be eligible for a waiver if their policy provides coverage that is comparable to the coverage required by SLCC.

International Student Services (ISS) will review the submitted insurance documentation and determine whether the waiver request can be approved.

Typical processing time is 5–7 business days.

Who or What is Eligible?

This service is intended for international students who:

  • Have active private health insurance coverage.
  • Are covered under a parent’s or spouse’s health insurance plan.
  • Receive insurance coverage through a sponsoring agency or government.
  • Have purchased a private health insurance policy independently.
  • Wish to request an exemption from the SLCC international student health insurance plan.

Approval is not guaranteed. All waiver requests are reviewed individually based on the coverage provided.
