Intolerance Policy

Forms and Resources

You must request a new waiver of the university health fee each semester you are eligible.  There are currently no automatic fees assessed for summer, therefore, no waivers are needed for summer.  (Also, part-time Graduate Students and Doctoral Dissertation students have no automatic health fees assessed during regular semesters, therefore there is no need for them to apply for a waiver.  Full-time Graduate students have a partial fee assessed which may be waived.)  Eligibility requirements are as follows:

• the student is commuting over 50 miles one way from their address of record to the campus they are attending, or
• the student is on a student teaching assignment over 25 miles one way from main campus, or
• the student is on an internship site over 25 miles one way from main campus

Waivers and refunds are NOT possible beyond the current and immediately preceding semester.   See IUP's policy regarding fees and refunds.

The health service fee is a mandatory university fee.  Waivers are granted only for the situations described above.  Waivers are not granted to students who request them due to having a family medical doctor or personal health insurance.  Waivers are also not granted to students who merely "do not plan to use the service."

The waiver form is only available online through URSA (University Records and Systems Assistant).
