Graduation
If your journey at Cornell completes, your SHP insurance changes.
Students, and their qualified dependents, can have health insurance through SHP only during the time a student is actively working towards completing their degree. Graduating from the university changes a student's eligibility to be on SHP.
Graduating Students
- Once a student graduates, they and their qualified dependents, cannot re-enroll in annual SHP coverage and their current coverage ends soon after graduation.
- Graduates can choose to purchase a continuation of coverage.
Optional Dental and Vision
Optional Dental and Vision insurances purchased in the current plan year, will continue through June 30th, unless cancelled, regardless of student status. There are no refunds for cancellation of Dental or Vision coverage.
These products do not offer continuations of coverage for students graduating, going on leave, or withdrawing from the university.
