Frequently Asked Questions
|
|
|
|
1. Who is eligible for the
University-sponsored Student Health Insurance Plan? |
|
The guideline for who is eligible to be enrolled
in the Student Health Benefit Plan is that students be registered
for 6 or more credits (3 credits in summer) in a degree program, and
that credits for which they are registered contribute towards the
total count under the enrollment guidelines for being assessed
mandatory Student Services Fee. |
|
If a student can not show proof of health insurance, the student will be
charged for the Student Health Benefit Plan. Typically these are credits for
day school classes that take place on campus. |
|
Please contact the Student Health Benefits Office at 612-624-0627, e-mail

4. Can I purchase insurance for my
spouse, domestic partner or children?
A covered student may purchase coverage for his or her spouse, registered
same-sex domestic partner, and/or dependent children. Dependents can only be
enrolled when the student initially becomes eligible and is enrolled in the
plan, during the open enrollment period which is the first 30 days of
coverage during Fall semester, or within 31 days of becoming an eligible
dependent.
See cost of coverage for dependents
(spouse, domestic partner or children).
