Student Health Insurance
Effective August 2008, all persons living on campus, all student athletes and all international students must have appropriate health insurance coverage, regardless of enrollment level or status (this policy supercedes any other statements and/or publications - brochures, web pages, and/or handbooks). Holy Names University encourages all students to have health insurance.
To affect this policy, HNU automatically enrolls all persons living on campus, all student athletes, and all international students in a health insurance plan underwritten by United Health Care (View the 2009 HNU Benefits Brochure).
Individuals may decline coverage if they already have health insurance that meets the terms outlined in the 2009 HNU Benefits Brochure, however, there are deadlines for declining coverage:
- Fall enrollment: Deadline to waive is September 9th, 2009
- Spring enrollment: Deadline to waive is January 27th, 2010
Please know that failure to decline coverage by the published deadlines will result in automatic enrollment in the health insurance plan and individuals enrolled will be responsible for the full charge of the health plan.

Resident Student Immunization Requirements
Resident students must provide evidence that they have up-to-date immunizations for Tetanus, MMR, TB, and Hepatitis B. This information must be included with an application for student housing and is required before a student may reside on-campus. A waiver may be requested - contact the Director of Campus Life for more information.
