🔹 Can I use the health and dental plans during the summer 🔹 Am I still covered by student insurance after classes end 🔹 Do I have health benefits during summer break 🔹 Is my dental plan active if I’m not taking summer courses

Yes — your student health and dental plans stay active during the summer, as long as you were enrolled in the plan during the academic year. Here’s what that means:

  • 📅 Coverage runs from September 1 to August 31 of the academic year

  • 🎓 If you’re graduating, your coverage continues until August 31 of your final year

  • 🏖️ You do not need to be enrolled in summer courses to keep your coverage

  • 🧾 You can still submit claims, access virtual care, and use your benefits during the summer months

  • 📱 Use the My Peak mobile app or log in to to view your coverage and claim history

Tip: If you’re planning to travel or book appointments over the summer, your benefits are still valid — just make sure you keep your insurance card handy.
