The university offers a Health Insurance Plan designed exclusively for NIU students. The plan pays up to 80% of eligible medical expenses incurred outside 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, but less than 9 on-campus (DeKalb) hours and students who register for at least 6 off-campus hours may enroll in the plan by completing and returning an application (pdf) to the Student Insurance Office on or before the deadline (the fifteenth calendar day of fall or spring semester).
