Mandatory Student Health Insurance Plan
- Insurance coverage is required for Graduate Students enrolled in 48 or more units in a semester or 36 units in a 12-week term (including F-1 and J-1 visa students).
- Students must take one of the following actions each academic year:
- Students can submit proof of other insurance (waiver submission) and, once approved, have the charge removed from the student financial account.
Or, students can enroll in the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) and let the university assessed fee remain as payable on the student account.
***Inaction of a waiver submission by the published deadline will result in the premium being charged with no refundability***
- University vendor provided insurance continuing in the 2025/2026 academic year will be broken into two prorated charges for each semester. Fall term will be assessed $1,176, and Spring term will be assessed $1,630 (higher cost for Spring as it contains a longer period of coverage). These two split charges equate to a total annual cost of $2,806.
