2024鈥2025 Medical Insurance Information

Enrollment (2024鈥2025)

All students listed below are automatically enrolled in and billed for the student health insurance plan:

  • Students enrolled in a degree program, regardless of credit hours
  • Students who are not citizens or permanent residents of the U.S.
  • Non-degree students enrolled at least 75% of full-time. Students are responsible for monitoring their eligibility status. (For graduate students in the schools of Morrissey College of Arts and Sciences, Lynch School of Education and Human Development, Carroll School of Management, Connell Graduate School of Nursing, School of Social Work, Clough School of Theology and Ministry, and Woods College of Advancing Studies, 75% of full-time is 7 credits or more. For undergraduates in the Woods College of Advancing Studies, 75% of full-time is 9 credits or more.)

Graduate students (non-Law): Registration for classes triggers your insurance enrollment, and it takes 5鈥7 business days for your insurance to show as active in the carrier鈥檚 system. While the fall semester coverage begins on August 7 regardless of when you register, keep this timeframe in mind if you have health care providers who will need to verify your coverage with the insurance company. You should register for classes by mid-July if you need your insurance to show as active in the insurance system on August 7.听This is also important if you plan to enroll dependents.

Post-doctorate students are eligible to enroll on a voluntary basis.
