Fall 2024
The Annual Student Health Insurance fee will be billed to all full-time students during the Fall billing cycle. Students who waive their insurance in the Fall may not enroll in the Spring semester unless there is a Qualifying Life Event as defined by the plan. You may enroll in health insurance within the first 31 days of the life event outside the Open Enrollment Period. To enroll due to a qualifying life event, contact University Health Plans at 833-251-1149.
Spring 2025
The Spring/Summer Student Health Insurance fee will be automatically billed to all NEW incoming full-time students for the Spring 2024 semester and can be waived if that student has insurance coverage.
Health Insurance Enrollment/Waiver Information
Students are required to enroll in/waive the College-Sponsored Student Health Insurance Plan every academic year. If you plan to keep the Student Health Insurance, you may confirm enrollment before the College specified enrollment period. The enrollment website is located in the left-hand side navigation menu.
The College reserves the right to audit all waivers to ensure compliance with the College insurance requirements. Please be sure to have a copy of your insurance policy as you may be asked to provide documentation. Pending insurance coverage or a letter from your employer or third company is NOT acceptable.
Early Termination (Not Permitted)
Ramapo College of New Jersey and Aetna Student Health DO NOT prorate health insurance premiums or adjust effective dates of coverage. Students will not be removed from SHIP coverage based upon graduation, withdrawal from the University, or new insurance plan post-waiver deadline. SHIP coverage will remain in effect until the end of the policy period.
Qualifying Event
Students who waive the insurance in the fall may not enroll in the spring semester. Students who waive are only eligible to enroll if there is a Qualifying Life Event that causes them to lose other insurance. Please email info@univhealthplans.com to access the enrollment form within 31 days of the loss of coverage.

The Student Health Insurance Plan is not available to part-time students at this time.
