Full time and all F&J Rutgers visa sponsored students are required to waive or enroll in the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) each semester before the deadline. The Health Insurance Premium is automatically added to the term bill each semester. If you have comparable health insurance, you may complete a waiver form, and the premium should be removed after four business days. If you need health insurance, you should complete the enrollment form.
- The open waiver/enrollment period for Fall 2025 begins late July and Spring 2026 begins mid-December.
- Visit www.universityhealthplans.com to view the waiver/enrollment steps, rates, waiver requirements, how to get the insurance card and summary of benefits.
- The waiver/enrollment forms can be completed even before the term bill becomes available.
