Dear Wesleyan Parent(s) or Guardian(s):

The University requires all students to maintain health insurance. Students returning from abroad or a leave of absence and spring transfer students must comply with spring insurance requirements. Every year, a few students have not been allowed to register or have been billed for unnecessary insurance because they did not submit the required forms and thus experienced needless frustration. Please complete the necessary online forms as soon as possible.

If you have private insurance and do not want the university-sponsored plan, please show proof of insurance (waive) online at www.gallagherkoster.com/wesleyan. Please remember to keep a copy of the confirmation page you receive once you have waived online.  (Please note that some insurance companies such as Kaiser Permanente, Oxford, United Health Care, Presbyterian, and AIG may not participate in Quest Diagnostics Laboratory, which the Health Center uses for laboratory services.  If you have an HMO plan or your plan does not cover out of network you might consider enrolling in the university plan).

If you do not have private insurance you MUST ENROLL online in the university-sponsored spring plan at www.gallagherkoster.com/wesleyan.  Your student account will be billed $601 for the spring insurance plan (1/15/12 to 8/11/12) in February; please do not send payment now. 

Wesleyan University will continue to offer low cost student loans to most students who need assistance covering the cost of the health insurance policy.  Grant aid assistance will be limited.  Please review your financial aid award letter for your specific eligibility.  Since you will not be charged for health insurance until after the start of the spring semester, financial aid adjustments will not occur until that time.

A hold will be placed on class registration for failure to show proof of private insurance or enroll in the plan by January 31.
