Updated UST Policy: Student Health Insurance
Any degree-seeking graduate student taking nine or more credits must provide health insurance information each semester. Students not covered by other policies have the option of purchasing the Aetna Student Health Insurance Plan. The Aetna plan costs $429 per semester and coverage for fall semester is from 8/15/09 through 1/14/10. Students will receive a mailing in early August with more detailed information on the Aetna Student Health Insurance Plan.
Students are to enter their existing health insurance information or purchase the Aetna Student Health Insurance Plan using the following instructions:
1. Login to Murphy Online at http://banner.stthomas.edu with your student ID and PIN.
2. Select Student Services.
3. Select Student Health Menu.
4. Select Student Health Insurance option and follow the prompts to either:
a. Enter your existing health insurance information (the name, policy number and phone number of your current insurance provider) OR
b. Purchase the Aetna Student Health Insurance Plan and print a temporary ID card.
Please note: Students taking nine or more credits must enter their existing health insurance information before September 23, 2009, or they will automatically be enrolled and billed for the Aetna Student Health Insurance Plan. This health insurance verification process will take place each semester the student is enrolled at UST, and Student Health Service will send messages to the student’s UST e-mail account with reminders.
