Student Health Insurance
Fall and Spring
Continuing Education students who are enrolled for credit courses may be eligible to purchase health insurance through Wardenburg Health Center, the on-campus healthcare provider. Students must also purchase the optional student fees (for the bus pass, recreation center, etc.) in order to enroll in health insurance. For eligibility requirements, deadlines, and more information visit the Health and Wellness Services website or call 303-492-5107.
Some students may be automatically enrolled in the CU Gold Health Insurance Plan, and additional student fees will be assessed. During the fall and spring semesters students are automatically enrolled if they are:
- a degree-seeking student,
- enrolled in at least one Continuing Education course, and
- enrolled in 6 or more credits as an undergraduate or enrolled in 1 or more credits as a graduate student.
You may also be eligible for an alternative plan. Contact a Continuing Education Academic Advisor for more information.
Summer
Students enrolled in a health insurance plan for the spring semester are also covered during the summer.
New summer students are not automatically enrolled in an insurance plan, but have the opportunity to purchase coverage at the Wardenburg Health Center by July 1. Payment is due at enrollment.
Waiving Health Insurance Fees
Students automatically enrolled in the CU Gold SHIP during the fall and spring semesters may waive the health insurance plan and fees via Buff Portal. Look for the Student Health Insurance card to get started.
Visit the Health and Wellness Services website for insurance deadlines and additional information.
The last day to waive/add health insurance for Fall 2024 is September 15, 2024.
The last day to waive/add health insurance for Spring 2025 is February 13, 2025.
If you waive the insurance plan, you are not eligible for the student fee package for the bus pass, recreation center, etc. For more information, contact the accounting department at 303-492-2212 or cebursar@colorado.edu
