<p>when does the national merit money get credited?</p>
<p>greeneyes24, you can submit a waiver form, and if your family insurance meets all of the USC-required minimums, they will remove the $405 charge for USC health insurance. (All students will be charged the $228 Health Center fee - it cannot be waived.) The deadline to submit the form this year is September 11, 2009. Forms are in the materials you get at Orientation, but if you didn’t get one, you can find the waiver requirements and form at these links:</p>

<p>One additional note on that health insurance waiver: you will need to submit a new waiver request every year. I was surprised to learn that but I suppose it makes sense as a family’s employment situation/health coverage could certainly change year to year.</p>
<p>thank you very much! That is very helpful.</p>
