Extending Coverage

If you are not enrolled in classes for a specific semester but want to keep your student health insurance, you may be eligible to purchase an Extension. Here's what you need to know: 

When can I request an Extension? 

  • Extensions are available during the Enrollment/Waiver Period each academic term.
  • They are most commonly used in the Summer.
  • For the current term, please complete a request to let the office know you'd like to extend your coverage. 

Who can request an Extension? 

You can request an Extension if: 

  • You were covered by the student health insurance last semester, and 
  • You are registered as on-campus degree seeking student for the returning semester.

**** Do NOT fill out the Extension form if you are enrolling in classes this term. ****

Enrolling in an on-campus degree seeking course, will automatically assess the student insurance fee to your student account (if you did not opt out previously). 

Waiver Generating Appointments: 

  • If you have a waiver generating appointment but are not enrolled in classes this term, you must complete the Extension Form to keep your coverage. 
  • Fee waivers (if applicable) will be applied to your student account within 10 business days. 

For information regarding Extensions & Waiver-Generating Appointments, please check the Graduate College's website.

Fees:

  • The cost is the same as the pervious semester.
