The SHIP 2026-27 waiver period is now open!

All registered UC Berkeley undergrad and grad students are automatically enrolled in the Berkeley Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) as a way to meet the University of California’s health insurance mandate as set by the UC Regents.

Effective August 1, 2026, our new health insurance carrier for Berkeley SHIP will be Aetna Student Health. More information about this transition can be found at uhs.berkeley.edu/shipupdates.

If you have comparable health insurance that meets the SHIP waiver criteria and do not wish to have dual coverage, you can submit an online waiver application to waive your enrollment in SHIP. The waiver must be filled out annually.

The deadline to waive without a late fee is July 15. No waivers will be accepted after August 15. SHIP coverage starts August 1.

SHIP 2025-26 coverage ends on July 31, 2026. Whether you are graduating or leaving UC Berkeley, the ending of SHIP is considered a qualifying event that opens a 60-day special enrollment period for you to enroll in other insurance plans.

Learn more about your options on our Insurance after Graduation webpage. The SHIP office is also available to help: call (510) 642-5700 or email ship[at]berkeley.edu.
