To Waive Coverage:

If you are required to have health insurance and you have other comparable coverage which meets the minimum insurance requirements as outlined above, you are eligible to submit a waiver.

Otherwise, you will automatically be charged for the mandatory insurance!

Each academic year, there are three important steps you must complete:

  1. Go to www.renstudent.com/fuller and select the Petition to Waive option.

  2. Follow the steps to submit your information online, by the first Friday of the quarter:
    Fall - 09/28/07, Winter - 01/11/08, Spring - 04/04/08, and Summer - 06/27/08

  3. To complete your petition to waive, you must provide proof of comparable coverage to Fuller's administrative agent, Renaissance Agencies.  Failure to complete this step will void your waiver and you will be charged for the mandatory insurance!  You will need to provide the following:  Proof of Coverage (this may be either a copy of your card or a letter from your employer), Coverage Description or Summary of Benefits, and a Personal Information Release (available online at www.renstudent.com/fuller).
