How to apply for an extension of coverage
Our office will begin accepting and processing extension requests June 1st for students graduating or going on leave during Spring 2024. The cost of the three-month extension, the request form, and the payment link will also be posted here at that time. Please email studentbenefits@cornell.edu if you have any questions.
Written notification AND receipt of payment for the extension must occur within 60 days of your plan expiration date. Failure to submit both items before the 61st day will result in a rescission of the extension back to the initial expiration date. Please note that there are no refunds on the extension once the extension term has begun. Please see the SHP certificate of coverage (“Extension of Coverage” information) for details.
