Waive Student Health Insurance in Workday
Description
This guide is designed to help eligible students submit a waiver for the RISD student health insurance plan and to provide key information about RISD's coverage. All RISD students are required to have health insurance. Students beginning their studies in the summer will be charged for summer health insurance along with their summer tuition. The fee for the full academic year is billed in the fall.
However, students who have a comparable, comprehensive U.S.-based health insurance plan that provides coverage while attending RISD may waive the RISD plan by the published deadlines. Waivers must be submitted annually. Students starting in the summer must submit two waivers: one for the summer plan by June 30, and one for the academic year plan by August 1.

From the menu, under Student select Finances
Under the Student Accounts heading, click “more” to expand the menu. Select Student Health Insurance Plan and Waivers.
This will bring you to the University Health Plans website.
Select your student type from the website, which will open a new menu of options to include the Waiver Form and Benefit Information in the left hand menu.
To submit a waiver of the coverage, select Waiver Form and provide all of the requested documentation within the University Health Plans website. Be sure to meet the published deadlines. The fall deadline is August 1, while the summer deadline is June 30.
