Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP)

Starting Fall 2012, all full-time undergraduate students must carry health insurance.  Only students demonstrating existing health insurance coverage can waive out.  If you do not submit proof of coverage by completing the waiver form, you will automatically be enrolled in the University's Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) and the charge will be automatically billed to your student account.  To prevent the charge from appearing on your first tuition E-Bill in July, you must submit your waiver prior to July 13, 2012.  Waivers for Fall 2012 may be submitted now through September 10, 2012.  If you submit an approved waiver after the SHIP charge has been added to your student account, the charge will be adjusted off your account within 7 business days.  To avoid being charged for the UAlbany Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP), you must WAIVE OUT of enrollment annually.  Visit UAlbany Student Health Insurnace Plan for full information and to complete your Waiver. 

Please Note: You must be registered as a full-time student for the Fall 2012 semester before attempting to submit the waiver in order for it to process.
