FAQs
- Can I insure dependents? Enrolled, eligible students can enroll a legal spouse or domestic partner and dependent children under 26 years of age.
- I have a graduate assistantship that covers my insurance. Why am I being asked to pay on the enrollment site? Check your email for a custom enrollment link with your insurance subsidy applied. If you have any questions, contact the Graduate School.
- Is this the same as the Student Health Fee? Your student health fee is not the same as insurance. Students enrolled in at least one in-person class are automatically charged the student health fee. Know what your health fee covers.
