Withdrawal

Withdrawing from Cornell affects your Student Health Plan (SHP) insurance enrollment. Review your options to understand when your SHP coverage ends and if you are eligible to remain insured.

Your SHP Insurance Coverage

If you withdraw before a semester begins, you cannot have SHP insurance coverage for any part of that semester unless you qualify for and purchase SHP Continuation of coverage.

See our SHP Options for Withdrawn Students page to learn:

  • When your SHP insurance ends if you withdraw before, early in, or later in the semester.
  • Whether you can purchase SHP Continuation insurance coverage.
  • How and when to apply and pay for SHP Continuation.

Optional Dental and Vision Insurance

If you purchased optional dental or vision insurance, your insurance coverage continues through June 30 of the current academic year unless you cancel it. Withdrawing does not change this end date.

Cancellations are not refundable. These plans do not offer the option for continuation coverage.
