Insurance Waiver Instructions

If you already have health insurance, you may waive the health insurance provided to you. Instructions for waiving student insurance and removing the charge from your bill vary slightly from year to year and are available as part of the new student onboarding (or are emailed directly to returning students).

All Warren Wilson College students are required to submit a Health Form and Immunization Record. North Carolina law requires us to have these documents on record for you to be enrolled in classes. If you do not have these forms on file, your registration may be dropped and you will not be able to continue.

TimelyMD

As a student at Warren Wilson, you will have 24/7 access to Medical and Mental Health resources through TimelyMD.

TimelyMD offers 4 different services:

Medical: Consult with a medical provider. These providers are able to prescribe you medicines for common illnesses
TalkNow: Speak with a mental health provider.
Scheduled Counseling: Schedule up to 12 free counseling sessions per year.
Health Coaching: Speak with a Nutritionist about healthy eating, exercise, stress management, and a range of other areas with a holistic wellness perspective.

Working with students on my Student Health Crew has been a wonderful and inspiring experience. So many of them want to continue on to careers in the health profession, and we provide them with the foundation and guidance they need to pursue those dreams. It is a privilege to write my crew members letters of recommendation for nursing and medical programs.
