Insurance Enrollment Tutorial
Enrolling after the Deadline
Requests to change enrollment after September 30 (February 15 for new Spring students) will be considered only if a student loses other health insurance coverage under a "change of life" circumstance. "Change of life" circumstances that warrant late enrollment include:
- Termination of insurance coverage under a partner’s or employer’s benefit plan
- Surpassing the maximum age for coverage as a dependent under a parent's plan
Late requests for enrollment will be reviewed upon receipt of documentation of such a change. Students must contact Insurance & Immunization Records at health-immunization@tc.edu within 30-60 days of losing their insurance, and provide documentation of coverage termination and change of life criteria.
