Health Insurance
CampusCare
UIC requires that all registered students be covered by health insurance and provides a plan, known as CampusCare, for which a fee is automatically assessed–along with tuition and other fees. When you register for summer session classes you will be enrolled automatically in CampusCare for the summer. There is no enrollment form to complete. Eligible students include all registered degree and non-degree Undergraduate, Graduate, and Health Professional students.
CampusCare benefits include:
- Physician, hospital and emergency room services
- Discounted vision and dental program
- Behavioral health services
- Prescription drug program
Dates of coverage:
CampusCare coverage begins on Monday, May 20, 2025 for students who register for any summer courses before Monday, May 20, 2025. If you register for courses on or after May 20 your coverage will begin on the date you register. To avoid problems with access to coverage, the CampusCare office advises you to register for courses before May 20. Summer coverage ends on August 15, 2025.
Student Health Insurance Fee Heading link
The CampusCare Student Health Insurance fee is one of several fees listed on your student account. The fee for the 2024 Summer Session will be $461. Fees are subject to change prior to the start of the term.
Note that the CampusCare Student Health Insurance fee is different from the Student Health Services fee, which is a mandatory fee (cannot be waived). Please check the explanation of tuition and fees for more information about services covered by this fee.
CampusCare Waiver Heading link
Information about waiving the CampusCare Student Health Insurance benefit if you have comparable insurance or reinstating this benefit can be found on the CampusCare Waivers and Reinstatement Forms.
UIUC/UIS Students Heading link
As a UIUC/UIS student, the steps you need to take to waive the fee depend on your insurance coverage at your home campus.
I have already waived out of my student health insurance at my home campus.
If you have already submitted a student health insurance waiver at your home campus, you will automatically be waived out of coverage at UIC for the Summer Session. No further action is needed by you.
I use student health insurance at my home campus.
If you have Student Health Insurance coverage at your UIUC or UIS home campus, your coverage will be continued at UIC when you enroll. You will be assessed the CampusCare Student Health Insurance Fee at UIC. If you extended coverage at your UIUC or UIS home campus for the summer and do not need CampusCare coverage through UIC, you can waive coverage at UIC after you register by submitting the online waiver by May 27. Visit the CampusCare Waivers and Reinstatement Forms web page for instructions and to access the waiver form, which will be available at the end of March.
Students who have applied or registered after May 27 should contact the Summer Session Office for assistance.
After you have submitted the waiver allow 7-10 business days for the credit to post to your student account.
