How To Waive Insurance

For Domestic (U.S.) Students

Fall Deadline: September 16, 2013

Step 1: Register for Classes

You must be actively registered for classes for 2013/2014 school year before starting the online request for the waiver process. If you are not registered for classes, you will not be able to request a waiver using the online system.

Step 2: Visit the Aetna website between July 22, 2013 and September 16, 2013.

Once you register for your classes, you will be eligible to request a waiver from July 22, 2013 through September 16, 2013.

Step 3: Read over Waiver Criteria to make sure this is the right option for you.

Step 4: Complete your online request for a waiver

All requests to waive the Willamette Student Health Insurance Plan must be completed online by the student. Make sure you have all of the required information before beginning – you are not able to log out and come back to the request at a later time.

  • Have a copy of your health insurance ID card prior to beginning the waiver request.
  • Go to Aetna Student Health
  • Type in “Willamette University” in the purple box and you will be directed to the school’s website.
  • On the right side of the page, click on the waiver link (Waive: Domestic Student Health Insurance Plan). This brings you to the Aetna Student Health online waiver request system.
  • Follow directions for entering your insurance information and submit to Aetna.
  • Aetna will verify with your carrier and notify Student Accounts to remove insurance premium charge from your student account.

If you encounter any problems submitting your waiver please contact the Willamette Student Insurance office at (503) 370-6972 for assistance.
