If you do not want the Student Health Insurance Plan, you must decline or opt-out of coverage by submitting a waiver. You may only opt-out of coverage during the following Waiver Periods:
| Waiver Period | |
| Fall | 05/27/2026 - 09/11/2026 |
| Spring/Summer | 10/30/2026 - 01/15/2027 |
The Fall 26-27 waiver deadline ended 09/11/2026. The online waiver system can no longer accept new waiver requests.
Commencing July 1, 2026, CA AB 594 authorizes a student certificate holder to request to terminate their student health insurance coverage during the policy year if the student graduates, takes a leave of absence, or is no longer enrolled at the institution of higher education. The bill requires the request to be provided to the institution of higher education at least 30 days before the effective date of termination and would, upon receipt of the request to terminate coverage, require the institution to terminate coverage effective within the same calendar month if feasible, but no later than the last day of the calendar month in which the 30-day period ends.
