Health Insurance Waiver Individual Health Insurance policies are not accepted as an alternate health insurance policy. You will be able to request a Waiver of Student Health Insurance ONLINE if you already have other health insurance that meets HCC’s waiver criteria. You must submit your Waiver request by the established deadlines each semester.

*Disclaimer: Acceptance of your waiver does not constitute a guarantee that your alternate Health Insurance Plan will adequately cover any medical situation that may arise or is a “good” plan.  An acceptance only recognizes that an Insurance Waiver Application stating that you have alternate coverage which meets HCC’s waiver criteria was received from you. Further, you agreed to be responsible for advising the Houston Community College Risk Management Department or AHP in writing of any lapses or cancellation of your current policy during the semester.
