Waiver Process
Students covered by a comprehensive health insurance plan that meets the waiver requirements can opt out of the SHIP by completing the annual waiver form by the deadline of September 1, 2024. Before waiving, compare the cost, coverage, and benefits of the SHIP to your existing plan. Failure to complete the waiver will result in a student being enrolled and responsible for the Health Insurance Fee.
Dependent Enrollment
If you are enrolled in the Student Health Insurance Plan, you may also purchase coverage for your eligible dependents by completing the dependent enrollment form located under the navigation menu.
Qualifying Event Enrollment
Students who waived the SHIP may qualify for special enrollment rights if they incur an involuntary loss of other coverage. To request an enrollment form and premium quote, contact the Student Health & Wellness Center at 312-567-7550. You must submit all qualifying event enrollment paperwork and documentation within 60 days of the qualifying event.
