UNH Health Services is committed to protecting the privacy of your health information. We provide you with a notice about our privacy practices to explain how, when, and why we use and disclose your health information.
A health record is created when Health Services receives a student's Immunization Record and Health History Form, or upon his/her first visit to Health Services. For students who live with chronic illnesses, it may be helpful to submit additional health information to be made part of their medical record to assist with continuity of care.
Student Health Insurance
The University of New Hampshire requires all full-time degree students to have adequate health insurance as a condition of enrollment. Proof of insurance is required at the beginning of every academic year. Students have the option of waiving the requirement if proof of adequate insurance through another plan is provided; or alternatively they can acquire affordable health coverage under a plan sponsored by the University and administered by Health Plans, Inc., a subsidiary of Harvard Pilgrim Health Care.
As part of this requirement, all full-time degree students must take some action - by either enrolling in the UNH Student Health Benefits Plan (SHBP), or requesting a waiver. Students may learn more about the SHBP or fill out an online waiver by the published deadline at www.unh.edu/shbp.
Note: Late payment penalties may be charged if plan is not waived and/or paid by tuition due deadline.
