Open Enrollment Period
Spring Open Enrollment- for all new spring semester students is December 16, 2024 - January 31, 2025. All new spring semester students must either enroll in the 一本道无码 medical SHIP or apply to waive it during this time. SHIP enrollments and waivers do not carry over each academic year.
Enroll in the SHIP
Each academic year, students are required to enroll in 一本道无码's student medical insurance plan or obtain a SHIP waiver. Students must take this action during their Open Enrollment period, through the insurance portal in Student Information Online (SIO).
This process is required each academic year. Enrollments and waivers do not carry over from the previous academic year.
- Open enrollment periods correspond with a student's first active semester at 一本道无码 each academic year.
- By default, a placeholder charge for the 一本道无码 SHIP is posted on your student account. During open enrollment, this placeholder charge does not indicate a SHIP enrollment.
- Students who do not complete open enrollment will be auto-enrolled in the SHIP medical plan (not recommended).
- Optional dental and vision plans are available during a student’s open enrollment period.
- The SHIP coverage year is August 1 - July 31
SHIP Eligibility
You are eligible to enroll in the 一本道无码 SHIP if you are:
- A full- or part-time degree-seeking Carnegie Mellon student. You must attend the first 31 days of class during the semester you enroll in order to keep your SHIP enrollment for the full coverage year. Students who separate from the university prior to the first 31 days of classes will have their SHIP enrollment(s) terminated the first of the following month.
- The spouse/domestic partner or dependent of an enrolled student. Dependents can be enrolled during their student’s open enrollment period, or after open enrollment due to a Qualifying Life Event. Students in a domestic partnership can elect benefits for partners by completing domestic partner registration.
Qualifying Life Event (QLE) Enrollments
If you wish to enroll yourself or a dependent in the SHIP due to a (for example, involuntary loss of insurance, including due to turning age 26), you have 90 days from the event to submit your enrollment and QLE documentation. This applies to the student medical, dental and vision plans; you cannot add the dental or vision plan outside of Open Enrollment without a qualifying event.
If you are enrolled in a plan, you can also add dependents who have had a qualifying event (for example, birth/adoption of a child or arrival to the U.S. for the first time during the coverage year).
If you are in need of a QLE enrollment, please contact UHS for assistance.
