Under the City Health Plans, coverage for an unmarried, dependent, full time student terminates when the student graduates, ceases to be a full time student or on December 31st of the year of the student’s 23rd birthday, whichever is earlier.
If your dependent falls under one of the above categories, you can purchase continuation of health insurance (COBRA) at full cost plus 2% administrative costs. Please notify us as soon as possible by downloading and completing the form at www.baruch.cuny.edu/hr/documents/cobra_request_dep_status.pdf.
A COBRA package will be prepared and sent certified mail to your dependent.

November 2008 Sessions of "Civility and Violence" - Seats Still Available!
Register by email to learning@baruch.cuny.edu.
Baruch College is committed to preventing workplace violence and ensuring a safe and secure academic and work environment for all members of the College community and its constituents. As a public employer, CUNY is required by law to develop and implement programs to prevent workplace violence. One way to reduce the potential for workplace violence is to intervene before a situation escalates into a violent incident. All faculty and staff are required to attend this mandatory training on how to recognize signs of a potentially violent situation.
“Civility and Violence” is the new name for the ongoing mandatory training program on preventing workplace violence. If you attended a “Preventing Workplace Violence” session in 2007 or 2008, you need not attend this class again. Over 700 faculty and staff have attended a session. Please note that adjunct faculty members and college assistants are required to attend. Adjunct faculty members who do NOT have professional hours will receive the non-teaching adjunct rate for their attendance.
The schedule of November sessions is as follows:
Wednesday, Nov. 12 10 am to Noon 151 E. 25 St., Room 763
Thursday, Nov. 20 12:45 pm to 2:15 pm 55 Lexington Ave, Room 14-285
To register for one of the training sessions, please send an e-mail to learning@baruch.cuny.edu, stating the session you would like to attend. You will receive a reply with a confirmation.
You can review CUNY's Policy on Workplace Violence at this link: http://portal.cuny.edu/cms/id/cuny/documents/level_3_page/007583.htm.
If you have any questions regarding the policy, please contact our Training and Development Specialist, Ms. Leah Schanke, at (646) 660-6618.
