🔹 What happens to my coverage if I take a semester off 🔹 Will I lose my student insurance if I’m not enrolled for a term 🔹 Can I keep my health plan if I take time off school 🔹 Do I still have dental coverage if I’m not in classes

If you take a semester off, your student health and dental coverage will be paused unless you request to continue it. Here’s what you need to know:

  • 🛑 Coverage is automatically suspended if you’re not enrolled in the minimum required credits

  • 📝 You can request continuation of your plan by contacting the ASU Supports Office before the term begins

  • 💳 Additional fees may apply to maintain coverage while you’re not actively enrolled

  • Visit the ASU Supports Office in the Student Union Building to get help with the process

Tip: If you’re planning to take time off, reach out early to avoid gaps in coverage — especially if you have ongoing medical or dental needs.
