Student Health Insurance

University policy requires all full time students to have health insurance. The University provides a health insurance plan for which all students are automatically billed. Students who already have equivalent health insurance coverage (through parents, spouse, employment, etc.) may waive this fee by filling out an on-line waiver on SOLAR by the deadline date.  Otherwise, they will be responsible for paying the University health insurance premium for the Fall semester.

(Note: International students are required to have different coverage; waiver from this health insurance plan must be done in writing, not online).

For more information, call the Stony Brook University Student Health Insurance Office, weekdays 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at (631) 632-6054.
