The medical plan provides comprehensive coverage with a modest deductible. Students may also choose to participate in University sponsored dental and vision plans.
Please Note: Student coverage does not automatically continue each academic year. Re-enrollment is required every fall to maintain active coverage. All coverage ends 8/31 without re-enrollment. Graduate students with academic appointments, Fellows and Certificate Trainees (as Defined in University Policy) may have different coverage ending dates depending on their appointment ending dates or graduation date. Please refer to the “Important Dates for Graduate Students with Academic Appointments, Fellows, and Certificate Trainees (as Defined in University Policy)” table on this page.
