Any full-time student who is registered and attending classes at Bethel University is required to have adequate health insurance coverage. You will be automatically enrolled in SHIP, unless you provide proof of comparable coverage and submit a waiver by the Waiver Deadline Date. If you have other health insurance, such as coverage under your parent’s or employer’s insurance plan, and you do not wish to enroll in SHIP, you may submit a Waiver Application. (Note: International students may not waive with insurance from their home country.)
Students must actively attend classes for at least the first 31 days after the date for which coverage is purchased. Home study, correspondence, and television (TV) courses do not fulfill the Eligibility requirements that the student actively attend classes. All International students are required to have a J-1, F-1 or M-1 Visa to be eligible for this insurance plan.
The Company maintains its right to investigate student status and attendance records to verify that the Policy Eligibility requirements have been met. If and whenever the Company discovers that the Policy Eligibility requirements have not been met, its only obligation is refund of premium less any claims paid. Eligibility requirements must be met each time premium is paid to renew Coverage.
