In what plan am I automatically enrolled for fall 2008?
All students (new and returning) enrolled for one or more credit hours on the CU-Boulder campus are automatically enrolled and billed $860 per semester for the Student Gold Health Insurance Plan, unless they have selected the Wardenburg Campus Care Plan or waived the health insurance. (Access, Continuing Education, Time Out Program, Study Abroad and evening MBA program students, go to Exceptions to Automatic Enrollment)

Select the Wardenburg Campus Care Plan or waive the Student Gold Health Insurance Plan by July 25, 2008 to prevent the $860 insurance premium from appearing on your first tuition bill. The final deadline for selecting or waiving is September 3, 2008.

If you were a student in the fall 2008, and made any changes to your insurance enrollment at that time, those changes will automatically carry over to the spring semester/summer 2009.

(See Exceptions to Automatic Enrollment.)

If you hold at least a 20 percent appointment, the university pays a portion of the cost of the Student Gold Health Insurance Plan. For approved doctoral candidates who select health insurance, UCSU student fees are reduced. Contact your department to determine the university contribution toward your insurance premium.
