Boise State University is going SMOKE-FREE, August 17, 2009! Click here to see who is holding their breath till... A Breath of Fresh Air. ______________________________________________________ The Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) Waiver Process has just been improved! Your health insurance charge will no longer be waived immediately upon application. This allows our staff time to review your health insurance coverage to determine if it meets comparable coverage requirements. During this time if you select the Health Waiver Application link on BroncoWeb, you will see a "Pending" status. Once the waiver is approved the status will be updated accordingly and the waiver will then post to your student account (this will take place when fees are posted to your account). For more information on applying to waive the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP), please see the Help Document at broncoweb.boisestate.edu/publications/students/insurancewaiver.pdf; or call the SHIP office at (208) 426-2158. |
