2021-2022 STUDENT HEALTH INSURANCE PLAN

School of Visual Arts (SVA) is pleased to present you with information about our 2021-2022 Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP), offered in partnership with Wellfleet Student.

ELIGIBILITY

SVA requires all full-time or part-time students to have health insurance that is comparable to the SVA Student Health Plan. To comply, eligible students will be automatically enrolled in the Plan and billed by Student Accounts for the Health Plan Cost unless a waiver form confirming comparable coverage is submitted by the deadline below.

• Students enrolling in the fall will be enrolled for the annual coverage period and billed the insurance premium by Student Accounts. The annual premium will be billed in two semester installments ($1,290 in fall semester and $1,290 in spring semester) based on registration status. Full-time or part-time students enrolling in the fall who are not registered for spring semester classes will be enrolled and charged for the fall coverage period only. New students enrolled for spring semester will be enrolled and billed for the spring coverage period only.
   

Student Health Insurance Policy Period, Rates and Deadlines:

* An administrative cost is included.

WAIVER PROCESS

Students covered under a health insurance plan that meets SVA’s waiver requirements may submit an online waiver no later than the applicable deadline above. Please note: the insurance fee cannot be removed by speaking with or calling SVA administrative staff. The waiver form can be found in the navigation menu on the left hand side of this page.

If you have a life changing event (i.e. involuntary loss of coverage) and need to re-enroll in the insurance plan after submitting a waiver, please contact University Health Plans within 60 days of the qualifying event.

Important Note: Prior to the start date of your program, your student status will be reviewed to determine if you are approved to access campus facilities. If you will be accessing campus facilities and it is determined that the plan you waived with does not meet the requirements for coverage in the area of the school you will receive an email confirming that the insurance charge will be added back to your student account.
 

ENROLLMENT PROCESS

Eligible students who fail to complete the on-line waiver form by the deadline date listed above will be automatically enrolled in the Student Health Insurance Plan and will be billed accordingly. Waivers will not be accepted after the deadline. Enrolled students will receive an email from Wellfleet prior to the start of the policy period with instructions to access their member portal and online ID card.
