Columbia University Health Services

All registered full-time and residential students are automatically enrolled in the Basic Level of the Plan if no valid waiver request is submitted and approved. Full-time students must confirm their insurance selection each year by actively enrolling in the Basic or Comprehensive Level of the Plan or by requesting a waiver of automatic enrollment in the Columbia Student Medical Insurance Plan and demonstrating coverage under another comparable policy.

Enrollment in the Columbia Student Medical Insurance Plan, either by automatic enrollment or online selection, is effective only upon the student’s academic registration for the term for which coverage will be active.
