Information for New Students
FNP/PA Program

Welcome to UC Davis! Cowell Student Health Center is conveniently located on the UC Davis campus and provides students with wellness, illness, and injury care. The services at Cowell are AVAILABLE TO ALL registered students regardless of insurance coverage. Student fees subsidize the services of Cowell Student Health Center; students pay small fees for most services. Please visit our homepage for more information on services available to you as a student.

The links below discuss health-related requirements that you must complete prior to the listed deadlines. Please take the time to look over each page to ensure that you will receive the proper clearances and enrollments:

Medical Entrance Requirements

Students are required to complete the Medical Entrance Requirements upon entry to the UC Davis FNP/PA Program. Cowell Student Health Center must receive all documentation by June 1, 2008. Those who fail to meet clearance are subject to holds on enrollment, classroom activity, and/or financial aid.

Health Insurance Requirement

The University of California requires that all students have health insurance. To help you meet the Health Insurance Requirement, UC Davis automatically enrolls all registered students in the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP). Fees for SHIP coverage are charged to your student account each term along with your registration fees.

SHIP coverage for new FNP/PA students begins on June 30, 2008 and costs $267 for the summer (through September 21, 2008). Fall quarter coverage will begin September 22, 2008. For information about coverage dates and costs for 2008-09, go to SHIP: Cost and Dates of Coverage.

  • If you want to be enrolled in SHIP, you are automatically enrolled — no action is required.
  • If you have comparable insurance and do not want to be enrolled in SHIP, you must apply for a SHIP waiver by June 30 , 2008. If your waiver is approved, your SHIP enrollment will be waived through the end of the 2008-2009 academic year. The services at Student Health Services are available to all students, even if you waive SHIP.

The online SHIP waiver application for the 2008-09 academic year is now available.

PLEASE NOTE: Your summer costs and waiver deadline are specific to new FNP/PA students. If you do not file a waiver by June 30, 2008, you will be charged a non-refundable fee for the summer SHIP coverage. If you miss this deadline, you may still apply for a waiver for the 2008-2009 academic year by the fall quarter deadline.
