Eligibility for Regent Student Insurance Plan - Aetna Student Health
Effective August 15, 2010 - August 14, 2011
Regent University's Enrollment Policy - Mandatory Coverage; Definition of "Tight Waiver" : All graduate students enrolled with six (6) or more on-campus credit hours and all undergraduate students enrolled with nine (9) or more on-campus credit hours (attending classes on site at the Virginia Beach Campus) are required to have Health Insurance Coverage and will automatically be billed and enrolled in the Student Medical Plan. All International F1 or J1 Visa students enrolled in class(es) at the Virginia Beach campus are required to have Health Insurance Coverage and will automatically be billed and enrolled in the Regent Student Insurance Plan. ( Modular Classes and Residencies are considered distance classes for insurance eligibility purposes.) The tuition and health insurance payment deadline is August 23, 2010. Enrollment and change deadline for the Fall policy term is September 17, 2010; Spring term deadline - January 28, 2011 .
Definition of Tight Waiver - If a student has Comparable Coverage they may submit an online waiver request with proof of Comparable Coverage. Comparable Coverage is defined as individual medical and sickness indemnity plans, employer - sponsored group insurance plans, Medicare, TriCare, or Medicaid. A waiver form can be completed on line at www.regent.edu/healthinsurance . Insurance fees appear on the tuition bill automatically for the Fall and Spring academic terms (the Spring term includes summer months). On-campus F1 and J1 International students who wish to use alternate coverage must first get approval from the Director of Student Life. Tuition payment deadline is August 23, 2010. Enrollment and changes deadline for the Fall policy term is September 17, 2010; Spring term deadline - January 28, 2011 .
How to Enroll
For new students, please complete the enrollment application for yourself and/or dependents online at www.regent.edu/healthinsurance . Returning students with continuing eligibility for mandatory coverage (6 on-campus credits for graduate students and 9 on-campus credits for undergraduates) will automatically be enrolled under the same status (student only, student/spouse, etc.) as spring 2010 semester. Any changes to your status - including a reduction of credit hours that makes you ineligible for automatic enrollment - requires completion of a new Insurance Enrollment Form (link located at bottom of page).
Students and Dependents Eligible for coverage:
Students attending classes at the Virginia Beach campus, with local residency, who are enrolled with a total of six (6) or more credit hours ( 3 credit hours must be on site) may voluntarily enroll in the student medical insurance plan. ( Modular Classes and Residencies are considered distance classes for insurance eligibility purposes.)
Eligible students who enroll may also cover their eligible dependents. The insured student's unmarried children under 19 years of age are eligible. Coverage terminates at the end of the month in which the child turns 19 years of age. Children who are enrolled full time as undergraduates with 12 or more credit hours per semester or graduate students with six or more credit hours, in an accredited university or college, and who are not employed anywhere on a full-time basis are eligible. Coverage terminates at the end of the month in which the child turns 24 years of age or is no longer a full-time student, which ever occurs first. Dependents' eligibility and coverage period must be concurrent with the insured student's, unless the student or dependent experiences a qualifying event that directly affects their insurance coverage. If a student or dependent has a qualifying event, that individual may be added to the Student Health Insurance Plan as of the date of the event. An example of a qualifying event would be loss of health coverage under another health plan or birth of a child. Please note an application for coverage due to a qualifying event must be submitted to Regent within 30 days of the qualifying event.
All students enrolled at Regent University in a Doctoral Program , on site at the Virginia Beach Campus, will be limited to 2 years of coverage once all coursework is completed and they are only working on their dissertation. Their beginning date of the limited period of insurance will be when they are classified as "All But Dissertation (ABD)" at Regent University .
Optional Practical Training (OPT) or Academic Training (AT) Students
International students who are engaged in post-completion Optional Practical Training (OPT) or Academic Training must have health insurance, and will only be eligible to use the university's health insurance plan for up to 12 months if they live in the local Hampton Roads area during their training. Students who live outside of the local area during their OPT or Academic Training period, or those whose Academic Training goes beyond 12 months, will be required to find alternate health insurance coverage, and must contact the Director of Student Life to receive university approval for using that alternate coverage.
Study Abroad Students
Students may elect to enroll in the university-sponsored plan for the term that they participate in a Regent-sponsored study abroad experience if they were eligible to enroll in the plan the semester prior to the study abroad experience. (To be eligible to enroll, a student must take at least 6 credits in the semester, and at least 3 of those credits must be on campus.) If a student is not eligible to enroll in the plan for the semester prior to the study abroad experience, he/she would not be permitted to enroll in the plan for the study abroad term.
