Deadlines to Enroll or Waive Health Plan Coverage

Deadlines to Enroll or Waive Health Plan Coverage

What is the deadline for fall semester 2008?
Select Wardenburg Campus Care 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.

What is the deadline for spring semester/summer 2009?
The final deadline to select Wardenburg Campus Care or to waive the Student Gold Health Insurance Plan for the spring semester is January 21, 2009.

(Continuing students are automatically enrolled in the plan chosen for the fall semester. If you are a continuing student and want to change your insurance plan for spring semester/summer 2009, your deadline is also January 21, 2009. If you waived the Student Gold Health Insurance Plan in fall 2008, it will be waived for spring semester/summer 2009.)

What is the deadline for summer 2009 if I am a new student?
If you are a new student for summer 2009, you are not automatically enrolled, regardless of the number of credits taken. If you want health plan coverage, you must enroll and pay the premium in the Student Health Plans Office (Wardenburg Health Center, room 336). The deadline to enroll is June 8, 2009.

Can I enroll in a Student Gold Health Insurance Plan after the deadline?
Eligible students will not be allowed to enroll in a plan after the applicable enrollment/waiver period, with one exception. If you have been involuntarily terminated by another group insurance plan you may purchase the student insurance, provided you furnish proof that you became involuntarily terminated by another insurance company during the 30 days immediately preceding. In such cases, the cost will be the same as it would have been at the beginning of the coverage period, but the effective date will be the date you enroll in the plan and make the required payment.

If I missed the deadline, can I petition to waive the insurance coverage?
If you fail to submit a selection/waiver form by September 3, 2008, for fall semester (January 21, 2009, for spring/summer), call the Student Health Plans Office at 303-492-5107 for information regarding the petitioning process. A $25 processing fee will be assessed.
