About Us
Advisory Committees

Student Health Services has several advisory committees that focus on different aspects of the UC Davis Student Health Services program. Members are appointed for one-year terms by the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs. Committees generally meet in the evenings, several times a quarter, with additional meetings scheduled as necessary. Previous experience is not required.

Health Fee Oversight Committee (HFOC)

Approved by student referendum, a health fee was established in 1996 to assist in funding of UC Davis Student Health Services. The Health Fee Oversight Committee (HFOC) makes recommendations for changes in the health fee and types of services the health fee supports. This committee is advisory to the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs and the Student Health Sevices Director. Members are appointed for one-year terms by the Vice Chancellor. The HFOC generally meets once each quarter for 2 hours, with additional meetings scheduled as necessary. This committee does not meet over the summer.

Additional information is available below. Students interested in participating as a representative on the Health Fee Oversight Committee for the 2008-2009 academic year can contact Mary Macias. Previous health care services experience is not required.

Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) Committee

The SHIP Committee was formed to provide broad campus involvement in the maintenance and development of the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP), and to provide informed advice to the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs regarding SHIP. The Committee endeavors to provide a health insurance plan that best meets the essential medical needs of most students at an affordable price. It recognizes that exceptional medical needs for a small number of students may be better met by alternative health plans. Students, university administration, and faculty are represented on the Committee. Members are appointed by the Vice Chancellor for one-year terms. The SHIP committee generally meets for 1-2 hours, approximately once a month, with additional meetings scheduled as necessary. This committee does not meet during the summer.

Additional information about the committee is available below. Students interested in participating as a representative on the SHIP committee for the 2008-2009 academic year can contact Romana Naqvi to be contacted during next year's recruiting period. Previous health insurance experience is not required.
