The Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) is a comprehensive plan offered through Aetna Student Health. In alignment with the Affordable Care Act, SHIP guarantees that you can obtain necessary treatment if you develop a serious illness or injury. It also guarantees that you can obtain preventative medical services like immunizations and physical exams. As of fall 2018, all undergraduate students will be automatically enrolled in SHIP and charged $2,690 to their accounts.
CLICK HERE to waive SHIP. Those interested in the waiver must have proof of insurance and be registered for classes for the spring 2019 semester.
The waiver period for SHIP begins December 5, 2018 and ends January 31, 2019. For questions about SHIP, email [email protected].
