Graduate and undergraduate students meeting specific criteria are eligible for enrollment in the student insurance plan. These criteria include residency in campus housing, international status under F1 or J1 visas, participation in Varsity and JV athletics, enrollment in undergraduate nursing programs, and enrollment in certain graduate programs such as Podiatric, Physician Assistant Anesthesia, Law, and Graduate Occupational Therapy. All eligible students are obligated to maintain insurance comparable to the outlined student health coverage. Students meeting these criteria are automatically enrolled and billed at the beginning of their respective semesters (Fall, Spring/Summer). They have a three-week window at the semester’s onset to provide proof of private coverage in Florida and opt out if applicable. Unless a waiver is submitted and approved during the open waiver period in Fall and Spring, students in the mentioned categories will continue to be billed. Students not falling within these specified categories are considered voluntary and are ineligible for this policy.
The insured student must actively attend classes for at least the initial 31 days following the coverage commencement date. Distance learning formats such as home study, correspondence, or online courses do not fulfill the attendance eligibility requirement. The insurance company reserves the right to verify student eligibility and attendance records. Failure to meet eligibility criteria may result in the company refusing to pay incurred medical expenses, with its sole obligation being the refund of premiums.
Dependents are not eligible to enroll in the student health insurance plan.
