Student Insurance Requirements
Austin College requires all enrolled students to have valid health insurance. All students are automatically enrolled in the student health plan sponsored by Austin College unless they waive enrollment by submitting proof of current insurance.
- To waive the AC sponsored insurance plan you must go online and complete the online waiver form with your current insurance information.
- For those who have no insurance or no coverage for the Sherman area, Austin College, through Academic Health Plans.
To log in to either waive or signup, the log in ID is the student's AC ID with one leading zero so that it's seven digits (i.e., 0123456); password is date of birth in format mmddyyyy.
This policy will cover you for most illnesses through Adams Center Health Clinic as well as a large PPO network.

All students are enrolled in the plan unless they waive out. The annual premium of $2,549.00 will be added to tuition billing unless you go online and complete the “Online Waiver Form.” This form will allow you to enter in your current insurance information for verification and proof of current insurance and remove the charge from your account. (Please see Instructions for Online Waiver/Enroll for Insurance.) The cost will be prorated if you are entering in January or February.
Student Athletes: You are encouraged to carefully check your family’s insurance policy. If it does not cover intercollegiate athletics, it is recommended that you purchase the student insurance plan.
Athletes are not permitted to participate in their team’s activities prior to submission of all the required forms. Please contact Sheila Smith at 903.813.2499, if you have any questions.
