All students will be automatically enrolled in the university’s student health insurance plan. Students who have comparable coverage must complete the online waiver form to remove the premium from their student account. Students are urged to carefully review their options before waiving the university’s plan. HMO plans outside the Prescott or Daytona Beach area may not qualify as comparable health insurance.

To complete the waiver for Fall 2008, log on to www.SRStudentcenter.com after May 1, 2008. The deadline to submit a waiver is September 2, 2008. Failure to waive the insurance by the semester deadline will result in the non-refundable insurance fee remaining on your student account. Embry Riddle is not responsible for insurance waivers that are submitted after the deadline.

International students should contact International Students Services regarding insurance requirements and waiver options. For further information, contact International Student Services at (386) 226-6579.

Maintaining good health promotes a productive university experience. The Health Services staff is committed to facilitating students’ wellness through direct care, education and assistance with lifestyle modification.

Services include assessment, prescriptive and nursing care, referrals, wellness education and counseling, women’s health care, immunizations, medical grounding of flight students and assistance with aerospace medical concerns.

Students must satisfy the university’s immunization requirements prior to enrollment or participate in campus-based immunization clinics. The Medical Report form supplied by University Admissions indicates the immunizations that students must document in order to register for courses and reside in university-managed housing.

Prospective flight students should be aware that certain sensory impairments, medical, neurobiological and psychological conditions and prescriptive medications might delay or preclude medical certification by the FAA. These issues should be discussed with an Aviation Medical Examiner (AME) to ensure participation in flight instruction. Students may also contact the Health Services clinical staff for information regarding eligibility for medical certification.
