Beginning this fall, the university is requiring that all students have medical insurance.
To comply with a University of California mandate, UCLA automatically enrolls students in its Student Health Insurance Plan, which will cost an annual $534 for undergraduate students and $720 for graduates.
Students who already have insurance that meets the University’s minimum requirement can waive SHIP online at www.studenthealth.ucla.edu. The period to waive SHIP runs Sept. 1 to 20 for fall quarter.
Linda Amicarelli, insurance coordinator at UCLA’s Arthur Ashe Student Health and Wellness Center, said the changes only affect domestic undergraduate students, since graduate students already fall under the requirement.
