Student Health Coverage Annual Spring Enrollment

The 2025-26 Student Spring Enrollment Period is now active through Jan. 31, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. ET. Coverage will be active Jan. 1, 2026 through Aug. 31, 2026. Annual re-enrollment is required should you still be an eligible student next academic year.

If you are an eligible student for the 2025-26 coverage year and wish to enroll in student health insurance effective Jan. 1, 2026, you must take action during this period. If you do not wish to enroll in the student health insurance offered by the University, no action is required.

Please note: Any benefit-eligible student who did not previously have an account will receive an email from Paymentus.com about setting up your account and making payments. This allows you to access the payment portal but does not mean you are automatically enrolled into the student health insurance. Action still needs to be taken to enroll in coverage.
