Dependents of covered students are also eligible for coverage under this plan. Eligible dependents are:

• The legal spouse of the covered student

• Any dependent child of the covered student under age 26.

A student must first activate his or her student coverage by completing the Opt-In form at http://studentcenter.uhcsr.com/univofga (select "Opt-In").

Once student coverage is activated, the student can log into his or her United Healthcare Student Resources account at www.uhcsr.com/univofga. (First time users should create accounts first in order to log in.)  The student can purchase the desired dependent coverage. Premiums for dependent coverage are due in full at the time of enrollment and paid directly to United Healthcare Student Resources.

Dependents are enrolled on a coverage-period basis and coverage cannot be ended early!  Coverage periods are as follows:

• Fall - coverage from August 1 – December 31
• Spring/summer – coverage from January 1 – July 31
• Summer only coverage – coverage from May 1 – July 31 (If a dependent was enrolled during the spring/summer coverage period, the dependent does not have to be enrolled again during the summer-only enrollment period. The dependent is already enrolled through July 31.)
