Columbia University Health Services

For students arriving on campus earlier than September 1 and beginning classes in the Fall, Aetna Student Health offers an optional early arrival insurance plan. This plan is recommended for students who will have no other coverage during this period. The plan is offered to students planning on enrolling in the Columbia Plan for the full benefit period from September 1, 2008 through August 31, 2009. The Early Arrival Plan is available for 2 months (July 1-August 31 for $379) or for 1 month (August 1-31 for $189.) The benefits are comparable to those provided through the Basic level of the student insurance plan. You may enroll using a credit card or e-check at www.aetnastudenthealth.com/columbiadirect.html.
