Important notes:

You can only extend your plan to your spouse or partner and your children. Parents, grandparents, and siblings are not eligible dependents to extend your plan. Please check the eligible dependents.
If you are an international student, please note this is not for emergency coverage. This is extended health and dental coverage for services not covered by an emergency plan. You will be required to provide proof of purchasing emergency coverage for any dependents included on the family add-on form.
The family members would be covered by the same plan the student has.
The benefit year coverage is the same for students and family members. For eligible students starting in the fall semester, coverage begins September 1^st and ends August 31^st. For eligible students starting in the winter semester. Coverage begins January 1^st and ends August 31^st. For eligible students starting in the summer semester. Coverage begins May 1^st and ends August 31^st.
Family Add On requests & fees are not automatically renewed.

The form request deadline and the payment deadline are not the same. The payment deadline is set based on the day the request is approved.
There is a 60-day validation period from the start of the program. During this time, you would have to pay out of pocket for all eligible Health and Dental expenses and keep the receipts. After the enrollment process is complete, you will be able to submit online claims for reimbursement and your Benefits Card will be automatically activated.
Each family member uses the same card that the student has. The card must have the student's information (Student's full name and student ID).
The fees for Family Add-on are non-refundable.
NO EXCEPTIONS will be made if the application or payment deadline is missed. The form request deadline and the payment deadline are not the same. The payment deadline is set based on the day the request is approved. It is the student's responsibility to check their emails.
Once you submit the Family add-on form, you will receive an automated email confirmation. Please keep this email for your records as it is your only proof of submitting a family add-on request.
