The University of the Pacific is committed to the health and well-being of our students. All students defined below are required to be enrolled in a comprehensive health insurance plan as part of a non academic enrollment requirement. Students that have their own comprehensive health insurance and do not want to be automatically enrolled in and billed for the University sponsored Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) must submit an online waiver every academic year before the Fall term (Summer for Dental).

Undergraduate and PharmacyD Students enrolled in 9 or more units
Dental Students, Graduate Students, International Students enrolled in 1 or more units
Law Students enrolled in 6 or more units
Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD): all residents

This policy excludes distance learning, off-campus and external programs and therefore students are not eligible to enroll in SHIP.

The deadline to submit the annual health insurance waiver is the first day of your Fall term (Summer Term for Dental students).
The Fall waiver is valid for the enitre academic year.
The Spring waiver is valid for the Spring term ONLY and a waiver must be resubmitted in the Fall.
