Health Insurance Requirement
2008-2009 Academic Year
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. If you are a new student for spring quarter 2009 follow the directions below (Costs and Dates of coverage for 2008-2009):
- 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 September 18, 2008 for fall quarter. If you are a new student for winter or spring quarter, see the Waiver Deadlines page. The services at Student Health Services are available to all students, even if you waive SHIP.
Waiver application deadlines for the 2008-2009 academic year have passed.
