Health Insurance Notice For New Students

Summer 2012

Your Health Insurance Requirements

Dear New Student,

Wheaton College is proactive about providing a healthy environment for our community of learners.  To ensure that students get the medical care they need to stay in class and to avoid the potential hardship of incurred medical expenses all degree-seeking students and all special students taking 9 or more credit hours are required to possess health insurance. 

Domestic students are required to either waive by providing their existing comparable health insurance information or enroll in the Student Health Insurance Program administered by Gallagher Koster.   International students and their dependents are required to enroll in the Student Health Insurance.

Please become familiar with the insurance billing process outlined below:

  • The online insurance waiver will be available for submission beginning April 2, 2012.   The summer term insurance premium shown below will be billed to the student’s account in early April.  This charge may only be removed by visiting the Gallagher Koster web site and completing the insurance waiver by June 28, 2012.
  • Students who take no action by the submission deadline of June 28, 2012 will remain automatically billed and enrolled in the program, no exceptions.
  • Students who know they want coverage may actively enroll beginning April 2, 2012. To enroll visit www.gallagherkoster.com/wheatonil  and create an account using your Wheaton College ID number.  Once your account is created, click on “Student Waive/Enroll.” Select the green “I want to Enroll” button and complete the online form.  An insurance card will be mailed within 7 to 10 business days to the address listed on the enrollment form.  To enroll dependents please contact 630-752-7429 or email health.insurance@wheaton.edu
  • Students wishing to waive coverage should follow the same instructions as above, but select the red “I want to Waive” button instead to complete the online waiver form.
