Student Insurance Enrollment Information

General Information

The annual master policy becomes effective on August 1 and terminates on July 31 but students may also purchase the Fall and Spring/Summer coverage separately. The Fall coverage period begins on 8/1 and ends on 1/15 and the Spring/Summer coverage begins on 1/16 and ends on 7/31. These coverage dates are set and cannot be changed. Students may elect to enroll in the student health insurance anytime during a coverage period (up to 31 days before the last day of class for that academic term) but the rates are not pro-rated further.  Students must meet the Eligibility requirements each time you pay a premium to continue your insurance coverage (see Insurance Eligibility on the Student Insurance page). Refunds of premiums are allowed only upon entry into the armed forces.  The Policy is a Non-Renewable One-Year Term Policy. The Enrollment FAQ's may answer any questions you have regarding the insurance enrollment process.

Important note

It is the student's responsibility to verify that your student account has been billed appropriately for the coverage desired. If you do not see the appropriate charge on your student account, please contact the [[student.insurance, Student Insurance Coordinator]] at the College immediately.

Students admitted Fall 2006 or after

All full-time undergraduate and graduate students admitted Fall 2006 or after who do not submit a waiver request by the deadline or whose waiver request is not approved will be enrolled in the Basic coverage of the college-endorsed Student Insurance Plan and the cost will be billed to your student account in two installments (fall and spring semester). Students who wish to be enrolled in the Basic coverage AND the Optional Major Medical coverage  OR students who wish to be enrolled in the Basic coverage and be billed the full premium for the annual coverage (not in installments) should complete the College Enrollment Request to ensure your correct enrollment and billing by the College. Students who wish to enroll in the Basic coverage only and who wish to be billed in two installments do not need to complete the College Enrollment Request.

Students admitted prior to Fall 2006

All full-time undergraduate and graduate students admitted prior to Fall 2006 are not required to have health insurance coverage as a condition of enrollment and therefore will not be automatically enrolled  in the College-endorsed Student Insurance Plan because you do not submit a waiver request. You are eligible to enroll in the college-endorsed Student Insurance Plan on a voluntary basis. Students who wish to be enrolled voluntarily by the College should complete the College Enrollment Request to ensure your correct enrollment and billing by the College. You may also enroll directly with UnitedHealthcare StudentResources.

Dependents

Students who enroll may insure their dependents. Eligible dependents are the spouse and unmarried children under 19 years of age or 25 years if a full-time student at an accredited institution of higher learning, who are not self-supporting. Eligible dependents must enroll directly with UnitedHealthcare StudentResources.
