Health Insurance

If you elect to enroll in CMU's Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP), the university will cover 100 percent of the premium cost for your individual coverage. While you have the opportunity to purchase partner, spouse, or dependent coverage under the SHIP plan, the university's support will be limited to the individual coverage amount. Please note that if you wish to elect the required health insurance coverage under an alternative plan, you will not be eligible for the university support referenced here. In order to be eligible for the financial support, you must enroll in the SHIP program.
