<p>If you are on your parents’ insurance plan, you are exempted from the USHIP plan. You just have to apply for a waiver online. You can also be exempted from the USHIP plan if you can find a comparable plan from any private insurers, and get the waiver.</p>

<p>As for the Student Life Fee, I do not think you can get out of that one, unless the following scenario applies to you.</p>

The Student Life Fee will be waived only for those students who live and study over 100 miles from campus and who will not be on campus during the academic year. Students need to petition their area Dean of Students ([Office</a> of the Vice-President and Dean of Students in the University](<a href=“http://csl.uchicago.edu/area_dean.shtml]Office”>http://csl.uchicago.edu/area_dean.shtml)) to receive this waiver. There are no other grounds for waiving this mandatory fee.
