Purdue Northwest open enrollment for 2020-2021 health insurance
Students and graduate staff may enroll in benefits for the 2020–2021 plan year from now until 5 p.m. ET on Tuesday, September 8, 2020. Open enrollment is your annual opportunity to review benefit offerings and make choices for the upcoming year. It is important to complete the steps below by the above deadline, as you may miss out on the opportunity to enroll and may face additional penalties based on your citizenship status if you do not.
In order to be covered by a Purdue medical plan for the 2020-2021 plan year, enrollment must be completed within the Academic HealthPlans (AHP) portal. If you are a domestic student that does not need coverage, you do not need to opt out of coverage.
Elections made during the annual open enrollment period for the 2020-2021 academic year will be in effect from August 1, 2020, through July 31, 2021.* Students who choose to pay by the semester should note that fall semester coverage ends December 31, 2020, and spring semester coverage ends July 31, 2021.
Enrollment Steps:
- Click here to go to the Academic HealthPlans (AHP) Portal There, you may review more information on the benefits available to you before enrolling.
- The Quick Links box contains an Enrollment Guide link with step-by-.step instructions. First-time users will need to register with AHP with your Purdue student ID (PUID) prior to enrolling.
If you do not enroll:
Domestic Students
You will not be able to enroll in the domestic student health insurance plan until the next enrollment period in December 2020 without a qualifying life event (i.e., involuntary loss of coverage on another plan).
International Students
Purdue University requires all international students to participate in a University-sponsored medical insurance plan or to obtain an approved waiver of coverage. Failure to enroll or obtain an approved waiver may negatively impact your legal status per federal immigration regulations.

If you do not enroll or receive an approved waiver by the enrollment deadline, a hold will be placed on your academic record, which affects your ability to register for classes, obtain transcripts or graduate. To remove the hold, undergraduates must contact Undergraduate Admissions via email at admission@pnw.edu or call (219) 989-2213 and graduates must contact the Graduate Studies Office via email at grad@pnw.edu or call (219) 989-2257.
