Student Health Insurance and Insurance Waiver
All students who paid the mandatory fees can access the Student Health Center. While office visits are free and other services at the Student Health Center have minimal charges, all students are required to have health insurance coverage.
To ensure that all students have adequate coverage, there is a Vanderbilt-sponsored health insurance plan (SHIP) for eligible students. The plan is underwritten by UnitedHealthcare and administered by Academic HealthPlans (AHP). The cost of the annual policy is billed to students on a semester basis, unless you submit an online waiver by July 15, 2026, and it is approved. The online waiver process requires that you submit documentation of other comparable insurance coverage. It is your responsibility to follow up on your waiver status, and to ensure that all information is received by AHP by the deadline. The may be completed on AHP's website.
More info about the insurance plan and waiver criteria can be found on the Student Care Network website.听
