Student Health Insurance Program

Wake Forest University is committed to the health and wellbeing of our students.

Required Action and Important Information for Students:

• All new in-person students—or those returning from a leave of absence—for the spring 2027 semester must take action to either enroll in or waive the Student Blue Health Insurance Plan by January 31, 2027.
• After January 31, 2027, in-person students without waivers are presumed underinsured and automatically enrolled in spring Student Blue coverage; applicable spring premiums become nonrefundable.
• Students who received an approved waiver for the fall 2026 semester will be automatically waived for the spring 2027 semester.
• Students who lose alternate coverage may enroll in Student Blue by submitting an eligible Qualifying Event Form within 30 days of losing coverage.
• Domestic students participating in Study Abroad programs must maintain U.S.-based health insurance coverage while they are abroad.
• Students with alternate health insurance coverage that meets the University’s criteria may opt out of spring 2027 Student Blue coverage by submitting an eligible waiver by January 31, 2027.
• To learn more about Student Blue benefits, please view the 2026-2027 Benefits Summary. Compare your plan to Student Blue using the Benefits Comparison Tool.
