Insurance for Graduating Students
Graduating students are encouraged to check their health insurance status to assure continuing coverage and access to health care following graduation. Students enrolled in the University-sponsored Aetna Student Health insurance plan are covered through July 31, 2013. For students needing more time to secure alternate coverage, a single term 3 month continuation plan is available for students currently enrolled in the plan. Write to insurance@uhs.rochester.edu for additional information. Students must enroll in the continuation plan by August 30, 2013. For students on their parent's insurance plan, we recommend checking with your insurance company to determine if you can continue on the plan after graduation. For more…
