ATTENTION: You MUST take action before leaving school for the holiday break to have continuous coverage for Spring Semester.
Coverage will end on 12/31/2024, during the university's holiday break. As of this year, we are no longer doing an automatic rollover of coverage from Fall to Spring. If you will be returning to UNC for Spring Semester and would like your health insurance to continue for the Spring coverage period (01/01/2025 - 08/16/2025), you will need to re-enroll before you leave campus for the holiday break. Otherwise, you will have a break in your Spring coverage and may not show active in the system until the week of 02/01/2025. (Spring insurance effective date will still go back to 01/01/2025).
This does not mean you will not be covered; this only means the insurance carrier will not recognize you in their system until after 02/01/2025 unless you ask to be re-enrolled sooner. Medical providers and pharmacies may not provide services or prescriptions after 12/31/2024 through the week of 02/01/2025, unless you re-enroll prior to 12/18/2024 to show continuous active coverage.
You do NOT need to meet the credit requirements in Spring to continue coverage (9 or more credit hours in the under-grad program or 6 or more credit hours in the grad program).
