Need Coverage Over Summer?
If you will be graduating in June or are taking a break quarter over Summer and plan to stay in the U.S., you will want to plan ahead to ensure you have medical coverage. Spring quarter is the last opportunity to enroll in the annual ISHIP coverage, which will guarantee you are covered over Summer quarter, whether you enroll in Summer quarter classes or not.
|
If you have already enrolled in quarterly coverage for Spring and chose quarterly ISHIP coverage, it's not too late to change it to the annual coverage. You have until the registration deadline of April 18th to make changes to your ISHIP coverage. Learn how to change your coverage from quarterly to annual here.
