Health Insurance Waiver

UIC requires that all registered students be covered by health insurance and provides a plan, known as CampusCare, which is covered by a fee that is automatically assessed along with tuition and other fees. If you have comparable coverage it is possible to waive this fee (see details below).

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

Coverage Dates

CampusCare coverage begins on Monday, May 12, 2024 for students who register for any summer courses before Monday, May 27 2024. If you register for courses on or after  May 27th 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 12th. Summer coverage ends on August 7, 2024.

CampusCare Student Health Insurance Fee

The CampusCare Student Health Insurance Fee is one of several fees that appear on your student account. The rate for the 2024 Summer Session will be $445. Note: Fees are subject to change prior to the start of the term. Also note that the CampusCare Student Health Insurance Fee is different from the Student Health Services Fee, which is a mandatory fee that cannot be waived. Please check the explanation of tuition and fees for more information about services covered by this fee.

If there are any unusual circumstances why you missed the June 1 deadline date to waive CampusCare, you may submit an official letter of Appeal explaining why the deadline was missed.
