The Montclair State University is committed to ensuring all full-time students have access to adequate health insurance coverage. Full-time students include:

  • Undergraduate students enrolled in twelve (12) or more credits
  • Graduate students enrolled in nine (9) or more credits

Full-time students must enroll in the Student Health Insurance plan (SHIP) OR be covered by a comprehensive Affordable Care Act (ACA) compliant health insurance plan. To ensure compliance, you are automatically billed for the SHIP, but you have the option to waive it by submitting an online waiver by the extended deadline date of Tuesday, October 12, 2021. Get More Information about Student Health Insurance.
