Waiving Coverage

Students who have comparable health insurance coverage, for example through a legal guardian or an employer, may waive out of the CampusCare program by submitting the online Waiver Form before the enrollment change deadline. Once a waiver has approved the waiver on your student account forever, a waiver remains in effect until a Reinstatement Application Form is submitted and approved. Students with approved waivers DO NOT need to submit a waiver each semester.

• Waivers submitted with inadequate health insurance coverage will be denied.
• CampusCare will provide e-mail notification of acceptance or denial of waiver request.
• Waivers submitted after the deadline will be denied.

Reinstatement of Benefits

Enrolled students who have previously waived out of the CampusCare program may reapply for coverage by submitting the online Reinstatement Application Form before the enrollment change deadline. Students participating in CampusCare may also reinstate eligible dependents by submitting the Dependent Enrollment Form.

 

Students who waived their CampusCare coverage and request reinstatement within the enrollment change deadline will be effective the first day of the term. Students who request reinstatement after the enrollment change deadline will become eligible for CampusCare benefits the date the request is received in the CampusCare Administrative office. No adjustment in the premium will be made.

Summer Coverage

Students registered for classes for the summer semester will be automatically enrolled in CampusCare.

 

Students also have an opportunity to waive out of the program, reinstate benefits, enroll dependents or disenroll dependents by submitting the appropriate form before the enrollment change deadline.

Dependents are NOT automatically enrolled. Students who wish to enroll dependents for summer continuation coverage must ALSO submit the Dependent Enrollment Form.

 

Students not enrolled in CampusCare for the spring semester who do not register for the summer semester are not eligible to purchase summer coverage.
