Students who have an approved waiver on file for the current academic year can elect to cancel their waiver and join UC SHIP at any time.
Students elect to cancel their waiver and join UC SHIP for many different reasons:
- Aged out of their existing coverage (most plans will only cover dependents up to age 26)
- Parental coverage was terminated due to the loss of a job.
- Forgot to file paperwork in a timely manner, and thus were dropped from coverage.
- Realized how amazing the coverage is with UC SHIP, and just had to join.
All you have to do to join UC SHIP is complete the Request to Cancel Waiver form, and submit it to the Insurance Services office at the Student Health and Wellness Center.
