Usually when you turn 23, 24 or 25, depending on what the contract says.

If you are on your parent's insurance and are going to college full time then you will be covered until you graduate. Once you graduate check with a local insurance agent to see about obtaining insurance for yourself the day after you graduate.

You generally have a small grace period (30 days is typical) after you graduate from college assuming you did not already reach some other qualifying event like age as referenced above or failure to maintain full-time status. Also, if your parents insurance is individual coverage and not group coverage, you may have that same 30 days to convert to your own individual coverage on the same plan without any medical underwriting at all. Basically you just tell them to move you to your own plan. Insurance companies don't like to tell you this because they want the opportunity to decide if they want to cover you or not. Check your parent's plan carefully for this guaranteed coverage option.

Check and see what the definition of full time student is - it may be say 8 units. You might also check with the Insurance Company - they may be liberal about a semester off here and there.

If you are a college student and on your parents insurance If you withdraw from a class and it puts you at under full time status 12 credit hours for the semester am you still covered on your parents?

Maybe. :) It depends on the insurance policy, actually. It depends also on how old you are, and why the insurance is covering you. Some policies are written to only cover full-time students, but most policies that you don't buy through the school will cover you anyway. Hopefully you are still covered, but the only way to know for sure is to ask your parents' insurance agent.

Are you still covered by insurance if you are in your last semester at college and taking 6 credit hours and had to get medical attention?

Assuming you're talking about being covered by your parents' insurance. That could get dicey. Technically 6 hours wouldn't qualify you as a full-time student, which is the typical requirement, but if you're completing a degree, you'd think that would count for something. Does your college treat you as a full-time student? It will probably be a judgment call for the insurance company. Maybe you should do a pre-certification so you'll know ahead of time if they will cover you.
