STUDENT REMINDERS

Students enrolled at UNCP pay a Student Health Fee as part of their tuition each semester. This fee pays for most of the services provided by SHS. Part-time students and University personnel may receive nursing and first-aid services; however, if part-time students elect to pay the full health services fee they can also receive care by the contracted physician.

STUDENT HEALTH INSURANCE

All registered students taking nine (9) or more credit hours are required to purchase the student injury and sickness insurance plan, with the following exceptions: distance education students and students who submit evidence of equivalent coverage satisfactory to the policyholder may waive coverage. If you do not submit a waiver form then you will automatically purchase the Student Health Insurance and the charge will remain on your student account.

Choose UNCP from the drop-down menu.
Choose My Account from the Yellow bar on the left-hand side of the screen.
