2008/2009 Academic Year Enrollment

In order to ensure that all students are able to fully participate in their academic life, Dickinson College has established the following policy regarding health insurance for students:

All full-time matriculating students attending Dickinson College must enroll in or waive out of the insurance coverage offered by the College. Students who wish to waive out of the coverage must be U.S. Citizens and provide proof of comparable private coverage. If you do not enroll or waive by August 15, 2008 you may have a hold placed on your account. Further, if you have not enrolled or waived by September 30, 2008 you will be automatically enrolled in the College sponsored plan and will be charged a financial penalty to withdraw. If you are a full-time matriculating student who is not a U.S. citizen you will be required to be enrolled in the Dickinson College Student Health Insurance and will be automatically enrolled.

The purchase of the student policy provides a one year term of health insurance with effective dates of 8/1/08-8/1/09. After the end of the open enrollment period (9/30/08), only those cancellations as a result of qualifying life events can be considered and are dependent upon approval by the carrier.

Information on enrolling in or waiving out of the student health insurance will be sent to the students' home addresses in June and July. The annual cost of the student health insurance is $960.00.
