Health Insurance
for Full-Time Students

About Enrolling or Waiving Aetna Student Health Insurance:

Every year, all full-time students need to complete the online Health Insurance Enrollment/Waiver Process to enroll or waive the health insurance for the year (September 1-August 31).

• All full-time students, whether new or returning, must complete this online process every year. Students who did not complete the online Health Insurance Enrollment/Waiver process by September 30 were automatically enrolled in the Aetna Student Health insurance plan for the year.
• The online process for full-time students who are beginning full-time studies in the spring 2012 semester is now open. All incoming full-time students must complete this online process by February 15, 2012.

Qualifying Event During the Plan Year

If you should experience a qualifying event during the year, you can change your enrollment/waiver status by completing and submitting the enrollment or waiver form to the UHS Insurance Advisor. Examples of qualifying events include: loss of coverage through your parent or spouse, birth of a child, marriage, divorce, newly eligible for insurance coverage (through a job, parent, or spouse).
