Health Insurance Requirement. The University of California requires that all students have health insurance. To help you meet this requirement, UC Davis automatically enrolls all registered students in the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP). Fees for SHIP coverage are charged to your student account each term along with your registration fees.

• If you want to be enrolled in SHIP, you are automatically enrolled—no action is required.
• If you have comparable insurance and do not want to be enrolled in SHIP, you must apply for a SHIP waiver by the published deadlines. If your waiver is approved, your SHIP enrollment will be waived through the end of the academic year. The services at Cowell Student Health Center are available to all students, even if you waive SHIP.
