Dependent Open Enrollment Deadlines
Dependent open enrollment is aligned with student open enrollment. Open enrollment for 麻豆最新出品 students is based on the first quarter in which they are actively enrolled at the University each academic year (for most students, this is Fall Quarter).
Students may enroll their dependents into the NU-SHIP, after first confirming their own enrollment via the online Coverage Selection Form in CAESAR. Open enrollment periods for dependents are the same as student open enrollment periods.
