Student Health Insurance Eligibility Updates for DE/Online students

With the recent events due to COVID-19, the UNC Systems office has allowed us to offer the Student Blue insurance to students who wish to enroll.  

Previously for traditional students, the requirements were: 

• Undergraduate- enrolled in six or more credit hours, charged the student health fee, and be in a degree-seeking program.  
• Graduate- enrolled in three or more credit hours, charged the health fee, and be in a degree-seeking program.

We understand that a lot of classes have been moved to online, not at the control of the student.  If you meet the hour requirement (regardless if online or on campus) or are in a degree seeking program, and are still paying the health fee, you may still enroll in Student Blue.

For Students that have decided to take all classes remotely, you may also enroll in the Student Blue Plan as long you meet the following requirements: 

• Meet the applicable minimum semester credit hour thresholds (Undergraduate- six hours OR Graduate – three hours)
• Enrolled in a degree-seeking program
• Reside in the State of North Carolina based on the campus residency status

ECU Student Health is committed to helping students through these trying times.  If you would like to enroll in the Student Blue insurance plan but are currently not able to through the Student Blue portal, please contact our office at studentinsurance@ecu.edu to let us know you would like the insurance so we can verify your eligibility and have the charge for the insurance placed on your tuition account.
