Waiver Process

MSU Texas has established guidelines in which an international student can request a waiver of the student health insurance plan by providing proof of comparable alternate health insurance coverage. In order to be approved for a waiver, your alternate health coverage must meet or exceed the requirements as set in the system guidelines.

Waiver Requirements

Students will be automatically enrolled in the mandatory insurance plan and charges will be applied to their billing statement unless they:

  1. Meet one of the waiver criteria;
  2. Apply for the waiver;
  3. Are notified they have been granted a waiver.

Health Insurance Waiver for Summer 2023

Once the waiver is submitted and your proof of documents are received, you will be notified via email within 5-10 business days of your waiver request. If your student account has already been charged, it may take up to 10-14 business days once the waiver has been approved to remove the charges and/or process a refund.

If your tuition is due before your waiver application is processed, pay the fee and if your waiver is approved, a refund will be processed through your MSU Texas student account at a later date.
