The spring 2011 waive/enroll period for student’s mandatory health insurance ends Monday.

SMU’s mandatory health insurance policy requires students to provide proper documentation of existing insurance coverage in order to waive out of the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP).

Students can also choose SHIP as their primary coverage.

For domestic students enrolled in nine or more hours and international students with an F-1 Visa, health insurance coverage is a requirement for enrollment at SMU.

International students attending SMU on a J-1 or H-1 visa are not required to enroll in SHIP, but should fill out the International Waiver.

If students do not provide documentation to waive, students will be automatically enrolled in SHIP and a charge of $715 will be applied to their student account.

This information must be kept current and students are required to waive or enroll each semester on Access.SMU.
