Business Services and Contracts : Student Health Insurance Details

This page is offered as an informational resource to students interested in obtaining health insurance through CWU.

Eligibility:

All registered undergraduate students taking 6 or more credit hours, graduate students taking 3 or more credit hours, post-graduate students taking 1 or more credit hours, pre-doctoral interns, visiting scholars, research scholars, and international students are eligible to enroll in Plan I - Standard Plan (2008-686-1) or Plan II - Enhanced Plan (2008-686-2).

All registered graduate assistants taking credit hours are automatically enrolled in Plan 1 - Standard Plan and the premium is paid directly by the University. All registered graduate assistants taking credit hours who wish to be enrolled in Plan II - Enhanced Plan rather than Plan I - Standard Plan, must notify the University and pay the difference in premium to the University to upgrade their coverage. Registered graduate assistants who are not taking credit hours during summer quarter will not be enrolled in Plan I - Standard Plan (or Plan II - Enhanced Plan if applicable) by the University for the summer quarter. Graduate assistants may enroll directly with the company for the summer quarter by paying the appropriate premium, provided that the Graduate Assistant was enrolled in Plan I - Standard Plan or Plan II - Enhanced Plan for the spring quarter and enrolls in the same plan option for the summer quarter.

All international students engaged in educational activities at CWU are encouraged to be enrolled under one of the policy plans.

Students must actively attend classes for at least the first 31 days after the date for which coverage is purchased. Home study, correspondence, and television (TV) courses do not fulfill the Eligibility requirements that the student actively attend classes. The Company maintains its right to investigate student status and attendance records to verify that the policy Eligibility requirements have been met. If the Company discovers the Eligibilityrequirements have not been met, its only obligation is to refund premium.

Eligible students who enroll may also insure their dependents. Eligible dependents are the spouse and unmarried children under 19 years of age. Dependent eligibility expires concurrently with that of the Insured student.

Students who receive financial aid may guarantee their coverage by completing their application prior to the receipt of their financial aid refunds. Enrollment forms may be completed at the Central Washington University Cashier's Office. It is the student's responsibility to guarantee the insurance payment on the Financial Aid Refund Day.

Note: Students who receive financial aid may charge the cost of the insurance premium to their student account by completing their application prior to the last day of add/drop each quarter.
