Health insurance requirement
NU-Q requires all currently enrolled students to participate in a private comprehensive health insurance plan. The policy, at no cost to the student includes access to medical, financial, and travel benefits. No additional documents are required for your enrollment. Please note: there is no guarantee NU-Q will provide this free service in the future.
Beginning August 1 of each enrollment year, sophomores/juniors/seniors may retrieve their new insurance card from department of student affairs reception. Replacement costs for lost cards are incurred by the student. Freshmen will receive their insurance cards during freshmen orientation and can retrieve them after orientation from department of student affairs reception.
Currently enrolled and incoming freshmen will be automatically registered for the policy, which is valid yearly from August 1 through July 31. Beginning August 1, 2018, students not currently enrolled (exception information can be found here) are no longer covered by the university provided health insurance.
