Leaving your employer

Continuing in your private capacity

If you would like to continue the same membership, but just start paying your contributions by debit order, you need to complete your banking details for the payment. You will need to provide supporting documentation like proof of bank details and your identity document.

Retiring

If you are retiring from your employer, and would like to continue the same membership, you will need to supply your banking details for the payment to become a debit order. You may remain as part of the University of Stellenbosch Group and continue to get the group communications or become a private individual with your medical scheme. You will need to provide supporting documentation like proof of bank details and your identity document.

Joining a new employer

If you are joining a new employer, on the same medical scheme, you will need to ask the new employer to transfer you to their group arrangements. If the new employer has a different medical scheme arrangement, University of Stellenbosch will terminate your membership at the end of month of your resignation.

How to terminate your membership

As membership to a medical scheme is optional, you may terminate your membership at any time. You need to inform University of Stellenbosch if membership must be terminated. Bear in mind that waiting periods and/or late joiner penalties may be imposed on your membership should you re-join at a later stage.
