Health insurance requirement
NU-Q requires all full time enrolled students and part time enrolled seniors in their last semester to participate in a private comprehensive health insurance plan. The policy, at no cost to students, 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 pay for this requirement in the future.
Full time enrolled students, part time enrolled seniors in their last semester and incoming students will be automatically registered for the policy, which is valid yearly from August 1 through July 31. Students (not including new incoming students) who register for fall classes after July 1 will be added to the policy after the university's official census date.
Students who do not register for the fall semester but do register for the spring semester should contact Counseling and Wellness to initiate the enrollment process. Please allow for 7 business days for health insurance to be activated.
Beginning August 1, 2018, students not currently enrolled (with the exception of students on their two semesters of an approved MLOA) are no longer covered by the university provided health insurance.
Beginning August 1 of each enrollment year, sophomores/juniors/seniors may receive their insurance card electronically via their NU-Q email address and may retrieve the hard copy from Counseling and Wellness. Incoming/first year students may receive their insurance card electronically via their personal email and the hard copy will be distributed to them during new student orientation. Replacement costs for lost cards are incurred by the student.
When seeking a medical service, students should first contact the customer care representative to verify the medical service is reimbursable or is a covered medical procedure.

On August 1, 2022 incoming first year students will be enrolled in the 2022-2023 policy. They will receive hard copies of the health insurance card as well as access to electronic health insurance cards.
