Information for New Students
School of Veterinary Medicine
Health Insurance Requirement

Master of Preventative Veterinary Medicine (MPVM) 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 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 students enrolled in the School of Veterinary Medicine MPVM program begins August 4, 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 the August 4, 2008. The services at Cowell Student Health Center are available to all students, even if you waive SHIP.

PLEASE CAREFULLY NOTE YOUR WAIVER APPLICATION DEADLINE. If you miss the deadline, you will have to pay SHIP fees for summer term—NO EXCEPTIONS. If you apply for a waiver AFTER the deadline, it may be approved for fall, winter and spring terms of the 2008-09 academic year, but will not be considered for summer 2008.

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