Student Health Insurance and Online Registration: One Stop Guide
Please follow the corresponding directions by the applicable quarterly deadline to complete your insurance enrollment or waiver based on what you selected or plan to select during Online Registration through Portico.

Quarterly Deadlines:
The deadlines to complete your enrollments or waiver each quarter are as follows:
Spring Quarter: April 4, 2008
Summer Quarter: June 27, 2008

How does this work now that online registration is in place?
Signing up for student health/dental insurance requires two key steps:
    1) purchasing the plan of your choice during online registration, and
    2) turning in the necessary paperwork or completing the insurance company
    online process to be enrolled each quarter, as outlined below.

Similarly, waiving requires that you
1) designate your intent to waive during online registration and
2) complete the online waiver process, as outlined below.

You will be able to complete these steps in the order convenient for you as long as both are completed before the quarterly deadline.

What do I do if I want to begin Waiving/enrolling before online registration?*
Health/Dental Insurance
Forms can be turned in to our office or enrollment processes started prior to registering for classes. Simply complete the necessary documents/processes for the plan(s) you want based on the number of units you intend to register for. Go to Blue Cross, Delos, or United Concordia below for what's needed. Then, after you register for classes, you can click on Step 4 of Online Registration to purchase the insurance you already signed up for.

Waiving Out of Student Health Insurance
Students are encouraged to start the online waiver process prior to registering for classes. If your waiver is not yet confirmed by the time you go to Step 4 of Online Registration, simply select the “I intend to waive” option. You can check back later to verify that your waiver is confirmed in the Fuller system. Go to Waiver below for what's needed to waive.

What do I do if I begin Waiving/enrolling after online registration?
Health/Dental Insurance
Forms can be turned into our office and the online processes started after registering for classes, as long as completed by the quarterly deadline.
