SFCM SHIP Enrollment

All full-time undergraduate and graduate students are automatically enrolled in the SFCM SHIP. For comprehensive coverage, SFCM SHIP is highly recommended. If you have health insurance that is comparable to SFCM SHIP, you can request permission to substitute your health insurance for the SFCM SHIP by requesting an “insurance waiver.”

The SFCM SHIP enrollment/waiver portal for Policy Year 2024-25 is now open. All new and returning full-time undergraduate and graduate students for the upcoming term at SFCM can now choose to opt in/waive the SFCM Student Health Insurance Plan for the policy year 2024-25.

Students who do not enroll/waive by the deadline will be enrolled in SFCM SHIP by default, and the premium will be assessed to the student’s account.

The deadline to make your insurance selection is August 20, 2024.
