SAIC requires health insurance coverage for all domestic undergraduate, graduate, exchange and certificate students enrolled full-time and all international students.  Unless these students submit a waiver online, they will automatically be enrolled in SAIC’s health insurance plan. The premium will be charged, per semester, to each student’s account.

If a student registers full-time and then drops to part-time before the end of the SAIC add/drop period, the health insurance plan will not automatically be provided. The student premium will be added back to the SAIC student account if the student requests health insurance coverage by the end of the fall and/or spring add/drop deadline dates.

Health insurance coverage is available upon request to all domestic part-time students. The premium for health insurance will be charged to students accounts each semester for which coverage is requested.

International students who have graduated, who have been approved for Optional Practical Training and who wish to have health insurance coverage during that period should contact SAIC Student Financial Services.

Eligible students who enroll in the plan may also enroll their eligible dependents. Eligible dependents are the Insured Student’s spouse residing with the Insured Student; or the Insured Student’s unmarried children to age 26.
