Lindenwood University mandates that all undergraduate students, including international students and graduate student-athletes, maintain health insurance that complies with the Affordable Care Act. The university has partnered with Wellfleet to offer a robust health insurance plan tailored for these students.
Both student-athletes and international students must engage in the waiver process facilitated by Wellfleet. Upon automatic enrollment in the portal, students have the opportunity to apply for a waiver during the fall and spring enrollment periods by providing their current insurance details. Those who do not secure an approved waiver within this timeframe will be automatically enrolled in the plan and will incur the associated fee. Conversely, domestic undergraduate students will receive information on how to voluntarily enroll in the insurance plan.
Account Access
Lindenwood students can access their Wellfleet account to review coverage and benefits or submit a claim by visiting the Wellfleet Website.
Waiving Lindenwood SHIP Coverage
International students and student-athletes are automatically enrolled in the Wellfleet program and the annual premium charge is on their student ledger. If students have individual or dependent health insurance, they can log into their Wellfleet account to submit a waiver.

If your waiver is approved, it will take approximately 7-10 days for the charge to be removed from you student ledger.
