To be eligible for enrollment in the Policy, you must be one of the following:
- A student, visiting faculty, scholar, or other person with a current passport and non-immigrant visa temporarily located outside your home country or country of residence who has not been granted permanent residency status in the United States while engaged in educational activities through UC Extension English Language and International Education Programs.
- A student, visiting faculty, scholar, or other person who is a U.S. citizen by birth but resides permanently abroad who is engaged in educational activities through UC Extension English Language and International Education Programs.
You are required to be insured under the policy, but the university may grant a waiver to people already insured under other government- or embassy-sponsored plans.
Coverage is available up to 30 days prior to the start of your program. Continuation coverage is available between programs and up to eight (8) weeks after your program ends provided that you are lawfully allowed to remain in the U.S. program.
If you withdraw from school within the first 31 days of a coverage period, or the entire coverage period, whichever is the lesser, you will not be covered under the Policy. There are no premium refunds. Please contact your UC Extension ISO with any questions. Exception: A Covered Person entering the armed forces of any country will not be covered under the Policy as of the date of such entry.
Students engaged in Optional Practical Training (OPT) or Curricular Practical Training (CPT) can also be covered by the policy, provided:
- the student’s OPT/CPT immediately follows a course of study; and
- the student’s OPT/CPT is no longer than 12 months in duration. Contact your UC Extension ISO.
Covered students may also enroll their lawful spouse, domestic partner, and their dependent children under age of 26. Eligible dependents must be enrolled on the date the student enrolls or within 31 days of birth, adoption, marriage, arrival in the U.S., or termination of other coverage (proof of date may be requested). Students who wish to enroll their eligible dependents must contact your school. Enrollment and full premium payment for all newly acquired dependents (spouse and/or children) must be submitted within 31 days of the attainment of such dependents. Otherwise, enrollment cannot be accepted after the Enrollment Deadline.
