So I was admitted into UF as a Summer B transfer student. I am, however, having a few issues navigating the transfer process. My transfer preview is on May 15th. I have a few questions:
1.) When do I find out about financial aid, costs, and what I am financially responsible for at UF? (they gave me a pamphlet that listed average costs, but still no definitive document unique to myself.) Does this happen before or after the transfer preview?
2.) I am 25, and my insurance through my parents ends in May. When do I sign up for student insurance?
I don’t know the answer to your first question, but as for insurance, you can’t buy university insurance until you are a registered student. Sometimes coverage starts on the 1st of the month in which your term begins, so if Summer B starts in July, your insurance might start 7/1. Check on the policy you have now. You should be able to COBRA in any months you need (and I believe you could sign up for Cobra within 60 days of the end of the policy, retroactive until the day employment ended). You’d also be eligible for ACA coverage as a ‘change of life event’ as of the time your policy ends (and that may be cheaper and better than the school coverage).
