Please go to SRStudentCenter to access the waiver. If a student's insurance fee has been assessed to a student's account due to lack of compliance with the university policy, such fees are irrevocable and will not be credited under any circumstance. Please go to Student insurance link for a complete explanation of adequate insurance. http://www.barry.edu/healthservices/studentInsurance/Default.htm
The Student Health Center will provide services to all registered students regardless of insurance status.
