Yes.  The Summer waiver is valid for 06/01-07/31 and a new waiver will be required for the Fall semester.  When the Fall waiver/enrollment period begins, you will be automatically enrolled into the CU Anschutz SHIP unless a new waiver is submitted at that time. 

Once your waiver is approved, it may take up to 5-10 business days from the date you receive your approval for the fee to be removed from your account.  If you have already paid your tuition and fees in full, then you will receive a refund for the full amount of the student insurance fee.  

Yes, if you have already paid your tuition and fee in full prior to submitting your waiver, then once your waiver is approved you will receive a full refund in the amount of the SHIP fee.  It may take up to 5-10 business days after receiving your waiver approval for the fee to be refunded.  

We understand that student employees intending to utilize the CU Tuition Assistance Benefit are not able to register for courses until the first day of classes.  This can be tricky to navigate since the waiver portal takes 1-2 business days after registering for courses to recognize your student information.  If you are an employee enrolled in a CU Health Plan, please reach out to our office directly and we will assist with manually waiving your student insurance fee each semester upon verifying your coverage with the CU Health Plan team.  (Please provide your student ID, employee ID, and full name in your email.)

Coverage begins August 1, 2022 and ends July 31, 2023. The Bursar’s office will bill the annual premium for the dental insurance in 2 installments – similar to how the health insurance is billed. Fall charge for Dental Insurance is $131, and Spring charge for Dental Insurance is $183.

Students graduating in Fall will be removed from the plan December 31 and will only be charged for Fall 2022 coverage as we are unable to bill non-students for the coverage.  

Graduate School PhD students in the Pharmaceutical Sciences, Toxicology, and Bioengineering will need to complete the enrollment form to receive the stipend dental insurance. All other Graduate School PhD students are automatically enrolled into the dental insurance plan as a stipend benefit of their program.
