Dental Insurance Coverage
The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign provides dental insurance for graduate students holding waiver-generating appointments, at no additional cost. Consult the Graduate College Handbook to see if your appointment qualifies. Students in this group will be automatically enrolled in the plan upon the completion of their appointment papers. For students beginning in the fall term dental coverage begins on September 1 or the first day of a student's appointment, whichever is later, but not earlier than September 1. For students beginning in the spring term, coverage begins February 1 or the first day of a student's appointment, whichever is later, but not earlier than February 1. Please take this into consideration when scheduling appointments.
All other graduate students can voluntarily enroll in the same dental insurance plan by paying the annual premium. Graduate students may also voluntarily enroll dependents for coverage. Students, wishing to voluntarily enroll or wishing to enroll dependents, must enroll during the Enrollment/Change Period listed below.
