Open Enrollment is your annual opportunity to elect or change health insurance and dental insurance for the upcoming plan year. Even if you are not planning to change your insurance enrollments, it is a great opportunity to review your information and dependents. It is the student's responsibility to be aware of open enrollment and to review insurance elections and eligible dependents. Reminders will be sent out before and during the open enrollment period.

  • Question

    As a Domestic Student, do I need SSHIP?

    Domestic Undergraduate students and Graduate students without an Assistantship are not required to be enrolled in the Medical coverage through SSHIP. For those who have Medical coverage through another insurance plan outside of Iowa State University there are questions you need to ask your current company in order to help determine whether the SSHIP Medical coverage may be a better option for you.
