Health Insurance (Reminder)

  • New Students: All new students will need to complete the online health insurance form by clicking here. If you have health insurance through a parent or other provider, this form will exempt you from needing to purchase insurance through Duke. If you do not currently have health insurance, you will also need to contact Anna Kenyon by clicking here or calling 919-684-1481. After contacting the appropriate office and completing the online form, need-based aid recipients will automatically be credited additional funds to cover the cost of insurance.
  • Returning Students: If you received financial assistance to cover the cost of your health insurance last year, your insurance plan and financial aid will be automatically renewed for the 12-13 academic year. You will not need to complete any additional paperwork. If you have health insurance through a provider outside of the Duke student plan, you will need to complete the online health insurance form by clicking here. Since you have health insurance through a parent or other provider, this form will exempt you from needing to purchase insurance through Duke.

Sibling Enrollment Verification

If you indicated on your financial aid application that you have a sibling who is also enrolled as a full-time student and will have tuition expenses this year, you will need to complete the Fall Sibling Enrollment Verification Form this month. Forms will be emailed to students in the first week of September and will be due on October 5th. Completion of the form is required for all eligible students, and failure to complete the Sibling Enrollment Verification Form may result in a reduction of financial aid for the Fall semester. Please note that you will be asked to complete a Sibling Enrollment Verification Form for every Fall and Spring semester that your sibling is enrolled as a student.
