Deadlines, Rates and Dates
2023-24 DATES AND DEADLINES
The Select/Waive process is completed in My Buckeye Link. Selections are considered annual and remain in place for the remainder of the academic year.
- Once a student selects the Student Health Benefits Plan (and they continue to meet eligibility), coverage is effective for the entirety of the remaining policy year and cannot be changed term-to-term within that policy year.
- For example, if you select coverage for autumn coverage period, you cannot drop coverage for the spring/summer coverage period.
- Exceptions are limited to Qualifying Events.
- If a student waives the Student Health Benefits Plan for autumn period, they can newly select coverage for spring/summer if they meet eligibility.
- REMEMBER it is your responsibility to view your online Statement of Account at the beginning of each academic term (and any time there is a change to your course enrollment) to confirm it reflects the correct Student Health Benefits Plan level.
