The University offers a health insurance plan to NIU students. The plan pays up to 80% of eligible medical expenses incurred outside NIU Health Services, 24 hours a day, anywhere in the world, after an annual deductible of $250.
ENROLLMENT IN THE PLAN IS AUTOMATIC FOR STUDENTS REGISTERED FOR 9 OR MORE ON-CAMPUS HOURS AND ALL INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS.
Students who register for at least 6 hours, on or off campus, may enroll in the plan by completing and returning an enrollment form (pdf) to the Student Insurance Office on or before the fifteenth calendar day of fall or spring semester.
