[1] The University of California Regents mandates that all students have health insurance. UC Davis automatically enrolls all registered students in the UC Student Health Insurance Plan (UC SHIP). 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.
[2] Graduate students registered In Absentia are exempted from paying campus-based student fees. 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). For more information, please contact Graduate Studies at (530) 752-0650.
