Students’ Chicago GSB e-mail accounts remain active while on inactive status. After four
quarters of inactive status, students are removed from the administrative e-mail distribution
lists. They are automatically added back to these lists upon resuming active status. Access to
password-protected information on the Chicago GSB Portal is regained upon resuming active
status.
Students’ university CNetID becomes dormant for students who are not registered for
courses for six or more months. Upon registration in the quarter of return, the CNetID is
automatically reactivated. Students regain access to all Chicago GSB and university
privileges listed above in the quarter of registration.
HEALTH INSURANCE AND STUDENT HEALTH AND WELLNESS FEE
The University requires Ph.D. students to maintain health insurance coverage. Coverage
must be annually maintained by enrolling in one of two university Student Accident and
Sickness Insurance (SASI) Plans or waiving enrollment by documenting coverage through
another source. The coverage dates of the SASI plans are September 1, 2007 through August
31, 2008. Insurance premiums are assessed over three quarters. Students who participate in
the plan during autumn, winter, and spring quarters of an academic year are automatically
covered for the subsequent summer quarter without an additional payment. To fulfill this
requirement, students will need to enter the Student Insurance Open Enrollment website
https://registrar.uchicago.edu/health and either elect SASI coverage or apply for a waiver by
demonstrating adequate coverage.
All registered students must pay the Student Health and Wellness Fee. The fee cannot be
waived for participants who live within 100 miles of the University and waive enrollment in
the SASI plan. The Fee will be waived ONLY for those students who live and study over
100 miles from campus, and who will not be on campus during the quarter.
IMMUNIZATION REQUIREMENTS
By State of Illinois law, all students are required to present proof of immunity to rubella
(German measles), measles (rubeola), mumps, and tetanus/diphtheria. The Student Care
Center notifies all new students of the requirement and provides instructions for
compliance. The exact requirements vary for each disease and are different for
international students. Information and immunization forms can be accessed at
scc.uchicago.edu. Students who fail to meet this requirement by the deadline will be
restricted and denied access to University facilities and to subsequent course registration.
A student who receives this notification should call the Immunization Office at 773-702-
9975 to resolve their status.
STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES
It is a policy of the University of Chicago to comply with the Americans with Disabilities
Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act as amended. Students with disabilities,
including learning-related disabilities, which might qualify for academic program
accommodation(s) must notify the Dean of Students in the University at 773.834.9710.
