Who is Eligible to Enroll?
All registered Undergraduate students taking twelve (12) or more credit hours and graduate students taking nine (9) or more credits are automatically enrolled in the Student Health Insurance Plan, unless proof of other comparable coverage can be provided. All registered International students taking at least 1 credit hour unless the student is officially sponsored by their home government or agency that guarantees the student's health insurance fees as part of the student's contract with the Policy holder. All international students are required to have a J-1 or F-1 and their eligible dependents (who are not U.S. citizens) are required to have a J-2 or F-2 visa to be eligible for this insurance plan. All other degree-seeking Domestic students taking a minimum of 6 credit hours may participate in the plan on a Voluntary basis.
Eligible students who do enroll may also insure their Dependents. Eligible Dependents are the student's legal spouse or Domestic Partner and dependent children under 26 years of age. The Named Insured may also cover a Dependent child to the end of the year in which the Dependent reaches age 30 under certain circumstances. See the Definitions section of the Certificate for the specific requirements needed to meet Domestic Partner eligibility.
The student (Named Insured, as defined in the Certificate) must actively attend classes for at least the first 31 days after the date for which coverage is purchased. Home study, correspondence, and online courses do not fulfill the eligibility requirements that the student actively attend classes. The Company maintains its right to investigate eligibility or student status and attendance records to verify that the Policy eligibility requirements have been met. If and whenever the Company discovers the Policy eligibility requirements have not been met, its only obligation is refund of premium.
The eligibility date for Dependents of the Named Insured shall be determined in accordance with the following:
- If a Named Insured has Dependents on the date he or she is eligible for insurance.
- If a Named Insured acquires a Dependent after the Effective Date, such Dependent becomes eligible:
a. On the date the Named Insured acquires a legal spouse or a Domestic Partner who meets the specific requirements set forth in the Definitions section of the Certificate
b. On the date the Named Insured acquires a dependent child who is within limits of a dependent child set forth in the Definitions section of the Certificate.
Dependent eligibility expires concurrently with that of the Named Insured.
