Health Insurance Waiver
Semester Health Insurance Waiver Period Dates
Spring-Summer 2013: health insurance should cover the dates January 14, 2013, through August 27, 2013
NOTE: If your health insurance coverage dates do not include the entire summer semester (June 3, 2013, through August 27, 2013), you will be responsible for paying the summer health insurance charge in your tuition bill.
Waiver Application Period
The waiver application period begins November 14, 2012, and will end January 18, 2013.
NOTE: No application will be accepted after January 18, 2013.
The University of Texas (UT) System requires all international students on non-immigrant visas living in the United States have medical, evacuation and repatriation of remains insurance. The UT System-sponsored student health insurance plan is Academic Health Plans. A fee is automatically assessed to cover the cost of this health insurance plan each semester of enrollment.
Students with alternative insurance that meets or exceeds UT System requirements may request a waiver of the insurance fee during the designated periods.
The university has the discretion to determine what constitutes sufficient documentation demonstrating approved health insurance coverage.
Acceptable proof of coverage MUST be written in English and money listed in U.S. dollars.
Waiver Process
1. Verify waiver eligibility
Check the table below to see if your insurance meets the UT System insurance requirements for coverage dates, amounts, business rating and medical evacuation/repatriation.
2. Complete a Health Insurance Waiver Application Form
Download the Waiver Application Form.
3. Prepare waiver documentation

5. Watch the email account that you listed on the application.
The Office of International Programs will send an email with the outcome of your request.
- If the waiver request is complete and your policy meets the minimum requirements including sufficient medical evacuation/repatriation coverage, the insurance fee will be waived.
- If the waiver request is incomplete or your policy does not meet the minimum requirements, the email will indicate that you are not eligible for a waiver and waiver is DENIED.
6. Check your account
If you submitted a waiver, check your ASAP account to verify a credit to your tuition and fees bill.
NOTE: It is your responsibility to ensure that your tuition and fees bill is paid by the appropriate deadline. If you are denied a waiver, you will be required to pay the health insurance charge.
Teaching Assistants/Research Assistants
If you have been appointed for a UTSA Teaching or Research Assistant position, you may be eligible for UTSA employee insurance. Your hiring department will coordinate with Human Resources regarding your employee benefits eligibility and possible employee medical insurance.
Please note that UTSA employee insurance does not include Medical Evacuation and Repatriation of Remains coverage; therefore you will need to purchase this coverage separately. For more information about the Medical Evacuation & Repatriation coverage, please refer to: http://international.utsa.edu/insurance/medical-evacuation-repatriation-coverage.
