Information for New Students
FNP/PA Program
Welcome to UC Davis! Student Health and Counseling Services (SHCS) is conveniently located on the UC Davis campus and provides students with wellness, illness, and injury care. The services at SHCS are AVAILABLE TO ALL registered students regardless of insurance coverage. 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. For FNP/PA students entering Fall of 2011, Student Health and Counseling Services must receive all documentation by June 1, 2011. 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 FNP/PA students in the Undergraduate Student Health Insurance Plan (USHIP). Fees for USHIP coverage are charged to your student account each term along with your registration fees.
USHIP coverage for new FNP/PA students begins on June 27, 2011 and costs $374 for the summer (through September 18, 2011). Beginning September 19th, 2011 coverage will transition to the Systemwide University of California Student Health Insurance Plan (UC SHIP). Information about UC SHIP benefits, costs, and dates of coverage for the plan beginning Fall 2011, are expected to be available in June.
- If you want to be enrolled in UC SHIP, you are automatically enrolled — no action is required.
- If you have comparable insurance and do not want to be enrolled in UC SHIP, you must apply for a SHIP waiver by June 27, 2011. If your waiver is approved, your enrollment will be waived through the end of the 2011-2012 academic year. The services at Student Health and Counseling Services are available to all students, even if you waive UC SHIP.
The UC SHIP waiver application for the 2011-2012 academic year 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 27, 2011, you will be charged a non-refundable fee for the summer USHIP coverage. If you miss this deadline, you may still apply for a waiver for the 2011-2012 academic year by the fall quarter deadline of September 15th, 2011.
