Every year, students ask the student accounts office how to waive the health insurance fee that’s on their student account. If you already have health insurance and don’t need George Fox’s, you must complete the health insurance form located in your MyGeorgeFox “Task” tile under your To-Do list by Sept. 1.

This waiver must be completed annually, as it is not automatically renewed for you. Once you’ve completed the waiver, the charge should drop off of your student account within a few business days.

Full-time undergraduate students and full-time in-person graduate program students who do not complete the waiver will be enrolled and charged for university-provided insurance. These charges are due at the beginning of the semester and cannot be included in a monthly payment plan.

For any appeals regarding George Fox health insurance, please contact Health & Counseling at hcc@georgefox.edu or 503-554-2340.
