Students who have comparable health insurance coverage of their own need to waive the Goucher health insurance online beginning July 1 (deadline is September 30, 2012). Students who require the college's health insurance coverage should enroll online beginning July 9 (deadline is also September 30, 2012). Please note we are required to charge the health insurance premium to any full-time student who has not submitted the health insurance online waiver by the deadline.
