Student Health Insurance & VA Healthcare Options

The University Health Center is located on campus for immediate non-urgent care. All undergraduate students are automatically enrolled in the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) which is covered by Chapter 31 and 33 VA education benefits; waivers must be submitted for other health care coverage if you wish to opt out of the SHIP. 

For more information about this program, go here. Please note you will need a University ID Number to enroll, so you will not be able to enroll until you are accepted to the University and have received your UID. You must follow the instructions on the Health Center website provided at the link above to either waive or enroll in SHIP.

There are also many Veterans Affairs medical facilities in the area. To find the VA medical facility closest to you, use their website here. If you are not yet enrolled in the VA medical system, you can find a guide on how to enroll in the VA healthcare system here.
