University Health Insurance

Important Deadlines: All Insurance waivers must be completed by August 31 for the Fall semester and January 31 for the Spring semester. 

Clark Atlanta University has worked with United HealthCare Student Resources, to offer a comprehensive accident and health insurance program which covers many medical expenses incurred a result of injury and sickness. 

The basic coverage is mandatory for all full-time undergraduate, all residential, and international students; it is available and recommended to all students. 

At the beginning of each semester, Graduate students living off campus who wish to purchase the insurance on a voluntary basis, and all students who wish to take advantage of the supplemental option, must contact CAU Health Services to request the charge for insurance to be added to their account then advise Student Accounts and pay premiums at the time of registration. 

Students may apply to waive the insurance coverage at https://studentcenter.uhcsr.com/cau. Once a waiver is processed in the fall semester, it is effective for the spring semester. Students who do not apply to waive the insurance in the fall may apply in the spring if they are opting out for the spring semester. Student athletes are not eligible to waive the University’s insurance coverage. 

Access 

Students can access more information about their policy, print their ID cards, view current and past claims, and manage their accounts through the United Healthcare website www.uhcsr.com
