Will I be covered? (College Student, 17, Full Time Thinking of Dropping a Class)?

Question

Alright, I am 17 years old (My birthday is 12/9) and I am currently taking 4 classes as community college (12 credits) but I am going to be changing my major from graphic design related to education and want to drop a class. Next semester I will take 4 classes, but I don't need the class for the major I will be changing to and I don't want my GPA to be hurt by a class that I don't need. Am I allowed to drop or withdraw from the class and still be covered on my parents plan?

Thanks for the answers so far I will have to ask them, I thought I would be fine because my brother is working full time and going to college part time and he is still covered (hes the same age as me) I mean I know he will be going onto his own policy eventually for the company he is working for but now hes on the same plan.

Any other answers are appreciated.

I just talked to my dad and he said he thinks it won't be a problem but he is going to check into it. About the GPA issue thing, this class was part of the major I was tkaing up, but I am planning on changing it all I need to do is fill out a form. I am attending community college, and I am switching to an AAT program that will let me transfer seamlessly to any public in-state institution but requires a min. of a 2.75 GPA instead of the usual 2.0 GPA.

Also, does anybody know just out of curiosity if I am below a 2.75 do I just need to take classes to boost it up until it is acceptable? I have to talk to a counselor soon but I just thought I'd ask.

Answer 1

Yes, you'll have to check with the insurance company.

But if it's you're GPA you're worried about, see if you can take the class on a pass/fail basis - with no grade. Many times you can, and you get the credits, but it won't affect your GPA. You can't usually do this with courses in your major, or core required courses.

Answer 2

Full Time Student (FTS) Criteria
Eligible children within age limit (see member's rider or base contracts), who are full time students carrying a minimum of 12 hrs/credits or four academic courses per semester at a licensed and/or accredited institution of higher learning.
Without FTS rider, dependent is still covered to maximum age limt as long as full time student
HN base contracts states mbr is covered as a full time student until the age of 23 with FTS verification. Riders can extend that age.

Answer 3

That depends on your parents' plan rules, but usually you're covered until 19 even if you aren't a full time student. Have them check to be sure though, that the age limit on their plan isn't 18 or something.

Answer 4

looks like what I did. Dropped out in 9th grade via kinfolk subjects and scars on my palms. I had social rigidity very badly and so I left sooner or later. Now i desire my GED (presently taking instructions even although the social intensity of it makes me fearful) and then i desire to get my drivers license and a activity. even although i'm rather scared besides, you may desire to do what you may desire to do. to greater acceptable you or basically help pay some hire in an condominium. the superb element to do pondering bullies and such: basically tell them to **** off via fact what they think of would not count number. you're who you're and in the event that they do no longer like it, oh properly. If we lived by utilising perfections, life may well be boring. Perfection is boring. Be you via fact I wager you're greater acceptable than a super form of persons in this judgemental international.

Answer 5

Probably you are since you are only 17. Once you turn 18, that may change. Check with your parents on the specific conditions of their policy.
