Can I enroll my spouse/domestic partner and/or children?
If your school’s plan offers dependent coverage, covered students may also enroll their lawful spouse, legally registered domestic partner (same and opposite sex), and any dependent children under age of 26. Insurance may be purchased for dependents as long as it is for the same term of coverage as the student. During the open enrollment period, you may add your dependents onto the student health insurance plan. You may also add a dependent outside of the enrollment period if there is a qualifying event (marriage, birth, divorce, or loss of a job). All qualifying event enrollments must be completed within 30 days of the qualifying event. If your school plan does not offer dependent coverage, you may seek out an individual health plan for them.
