- Undergraduate students enrolled in twelve (12) or more credits
- Graduate students enrolled in nine (9) or more credits.
Full-time* students (as defined above) have the opportunity to waive/opt out of the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) by providing evidence of a comprehensive Affordable Care Act (ACA) compliant health insurance plan online to University Health Plans. To ensure compliance, students are automatically billed for the SHIP and will be automatically enrolled if a waiver is not submitted online by Monday, September 18, 2023.
