Office of Student Life

Important Forms

Our office is experiencing a high volume of requests.  Please allow 10 BUSINESS DAYS for our office to process your request.  You will be notified by email of our decision.  

Notices: 

  1. The policy year corresponds to the academic year (Autumn, Spring, Summer semesters), not the calendar year.  View dates.
  2. Students cannot submit petitions for a policy year that has already ended. 
  3. The deadline to submit a Petition to Waive for any 2024-25 coverage period is 11:59 p.m. EST on August 18, 2025.
  4. If you experience a Qualifying Event and wish to modify an existing selection or waiver, submit the Qualifying Event form within 31 days. Do not submit a Petition to Waive or Petition to Enroll.
  5. Except for Qualifying Events, the SHI Benefits Plan selection stays in effect until the end of the academic year (Autumn, Spring, Summer semesters) -- assuming academic eligibility is maintained -- and students cannot modify or drop that selection term by term. For example, if a student selects the SHI Benefits Plan for autumn, they cannot waive it for spring/summer.
