Waivers

Your health insurance coverage information is submitted to UnitedHealthcare within three business days after you register for classes at GGC each applicable semester. Once submitted, you have the ability to waive out if you have comparable coverage. Students who are covered by an insurance policy (i.e., through parent plans, family plans or employer-sponsored plans) can opt out of the plan by submitting a waiver by the end of drop/add period. Allow three business days for an approved waiver to be updated on your student account.

If your waiver has been denied once, you can resubmit a waiver following the same steps as above one more time. Double check that all information you submitted is correct. If you have submitted two waivers and you have been denied twice, and wish to appeal, you will need to email the program coordinator for Health Services if you are a nursing student or International Student Services if you are an international student.
