If students have comparable insurance and do not want to be enrolled in UC SHIP, they must apply for a UC SHIP waiver by the date specified for their school. More information about the UC SHIP is available at Student Health and Counseling Services.

Consistent with Regents Policy, these students will continue to pay reduced tuition, reduced student services fee, the student health insurance premium (unless they waive out), nonresident supplemental tuition (if applicable) and professional degree supplemental tuition (if applicable).
