Student Health Insurance Plan

University Health Services has updated the CMU Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) enrollment and waiver process for the 2020-2021 academic year to address the hybrid model of instruction.

• All full-time, degree-seeking students located in the United States are required to carry adequate medical insurance to support your health and well-being.
• Part-time students are not subject to the insurance requirement, but the SHIP is available for enrollment.
• Students must be engaged in coursework for the first 31 days of the semester, whether remote or in person, to be eligible for the SHIP.
• Students located outside of the U.S. taking classes remotely are not subject to the insurance requirement and are not required to submit a waiver.

The waiver/enrollment period is Wednesday, July 22, to Monday, September 14, at 11:59 pm.

We strongly recommend waiting to enroll or waive coverage until your living arrangements are finalized. If you have any questions regarding CMU SHIP, enrollment or waivers, visit the Student Health Insurance Plan website or contact us.
