New Students

Logging into CAESAR displays the "Home" page; in the "Quick Links" section select "Health Coverage Plan" and choose the appropriate option. Students who do not opt out of the NU/Aetna plan by completing the online Coverage Selection Form will be billed for one year’s enrollment.

International Students
As of September 1, 2010, Northwestern University has mandated that all international students enroll in the NU/Aetna Student Health Plan. An "international student" is defined as a holder of an F-1 or J-1 US visa, for which full-time student status is required. International students do not need to complete the Coverage Selection Form. Charges for the NU/Aetna Plan are automatically billed to the student’s account. On the CAESAR "Home" page select "Personal Profile More" and "My Addresses" to confirm that your local Illinois address is updated, as that is where NU/Aetna Student Health will forward your active membership card for proof of coverage. For more information, see "International Students" at www.nuhs.northwestern.edu/evanston/insurance.aspx.
