Enrollment
Domestic Students
Open enrollment for fall 2021 will take place July 1, 2021 through midnight September 12, 2021. Students can voluntarily enroll by:
- Logging into MyRed
- Selecting the Profile tab
- Clicking on Health Insurance
International Students & Graduate Assistants
International students and graduate assistantship recipients are automatically enrolled each semester. Once insurance has been assigned, it will appear as a charge in your MyRED account. Your insurance card will become available to you after you complete the "ACCEPT your Insurance" instructions below. Please see "Health Insurance Cards" later in this page for more detail.
If you have other qualifying insurance, and wish to WAIVE the insurance assigned to you by UNL, you must take action to waive the insurance. If you do not successively waive the student health insurance, you will be responsible for the cost of the premium added to your student account balance. This must be completed in both Fall and Spring semesters.
