Health Insurance Requirement

Daytime MBA Program

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 graduate students in the University of California Student Health Insurance Plan (UC SHIP). Fees for UC SHIP coverage are charged to your student account each term along with your registration fees.

  • 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 UC SHIP waiver by September 15, 2011 (if you are a new student for winter or spring quarter, see the Waiver Deadlines page).

The UC SHIP waiver application for the 2011-2012 academic year now available.

Working Professional MBA Program

Working Professional MBA students are not eligible for enrollment in SHIP.
