Students WILL NOT have access to the waiver portal or insurance ID cards until registered for an eligible course.
You may access the waiver at https://www.studentenroll.anthem.com/school/cuanschutz during the waiver period by following the prompts to create an account or login. No action is required to activate your coverage beyond eligible class enrollment. Students will have access to insurance information within 5-7 business days of class registration.
IMPORTANT: If you did not take action to waive your coverage prior to 9/9/2025, you will be remain enrolled in the student insurance plan. Your coverage will be retroactive to the 8/1/2025 start date, but your provider may not be able to verify coverage until after you have registered for classes and are added to the Anthem roster. The date you are registered for classes can vary by program.
Enrolling in the Student Health Insurance Plan
Waiving Student Health Insurance
All students enrolled in one or more hours in a degree-seeking or financial aid eligible certificate program are required to have health insurance. Therefore, all students taking one or more credit hours are automatically enrolled in and billed for the Student Health Insurance Plan. If you have a comparable insurance, you may qualify to waive the Student Health Insurance Plan.
You must have comparable coverage from another carrier in order to waive the Student Health Insurance Plan. That coverage must meet several requirements in order to be considered comparable. If your plan does not meet these requirements, your waiver request will be denied, and you will be enrolled in the Student Health Insurance Plan.
Waiver requests must be submitted no later than 10:00pm on the posted deadline date. Failure to meet the deadline will result in enrollment in the Student Health Insurance Plan and your account will be billed accordingly. If your waiver request is approved, the insurance charge will be removed from your account within 7 business days.
