Domestic Students

Health insurance requirements have changed, beginning with the Fall 2024 semester. Please read carefully to understand your requirements and options.

Changes to Health Insurance Requirement for Fall 2024

Effective Fall 2024, UB will discontinue the domestic health insurance plan offered by the university to our students. Additionally, we will no longer mandate health insurance for domestic students attending the University at Buffalo. 

Intercollegiate Athletes

All intercollegiate student athletes are required to have health insurance. Effective for Fall 2024, this mandate will be administered by the UB Department of Athletics. More details will be announced as they become available.

Students in Health-Related academic programs (e.g., Medical, Nursing, etc.)

Health-related academic programs may require students to have health insurance. Please check with your academic program about specific health insurance requirements.
