Annual Health and Hospitalization Premium
- Student coverage is required by Northwestern for all full-time students who do not have another insurance plan. Returning full-time students who have previously participated in the Aetna Student Health Plan, will be automatically re-enrolled at the beginning of each academic year.
- All full-time students whose first registration is for the Fall quarter must log in to CAESAR and submit the online Coverage Selection Form (CSF) to either participate in or waive the Aetna Student Health Plan. The deadline to submit the CSF is October 1. If your first full-time registration is mid-year, please refer to the Aetna Student Health website to determine the deadline.
- Students who do not comply with the insurance requirement by the deadline will automatically be charged for the Aetna Student Health Plan and will not be able to cancel coverage until the next academic year.
- Students who waived the Aetna Student Health Plan and wish to enroll after the deadline can apply only if a life-changing event occurs (loss of coverage through a parent policy, marriage, withdrawal from the university, etc.).
