Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP)
The University of California requires all students to have major medical health insurance as a non-academic condition of enrollment. All full and part-time undergraduate and graduate students are assessed a USHIP/GSHIP fee and are automatically enrolled in, and charged for, the University of California Student Health Insurance Plan (UC SHIP). If you are covered by another major medical health insurance policy you may waive out of the SHIP health insurance, by submitting a request online during the open waiver period. If approved, the waiver is in effect for the current term and the remainder of the academic year. A new waiver request must be submitted at the beginning of each academic year. Visit the UCI Student Health Services website for detailed information about the UC Irvine Health Insurance Plan.
