If you can certify alternative comparable coverage, you can waive this fee by completing the online waiver available now. Free care is not considered comparable coverage. If you waived the fee in the FALL the SPRING fee will come off after the first of the year - please do not complete the waiver again. Completed SPRING 2024 waivers will be uploaded beginning January 3rd.
