Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP)

All students are enrolled in the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) for 2023-2024. Before June 15th, you may waive out of the plan if you meet the requirements and provide proof of insurance.

The Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) is an affordable health insurance plan available for all enrolled students to purchase annually.  All enrolled students must have health insurance either through the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) or through a private health insurance plan.  Every spring a request is sent to students for updated health insurance information.   Annually, health insurance information must be updated even if your health insurance information remains the same as last year

The Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) policy is effective August 17th through August 16th. The premium is billed in one installment on the fall semester E-Bill issued in July. Financially aided students should be aware that financial assistance is available for the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) premium.
