Student Health Insurance Policies


DOMESTIC AND UNDOCUMENTED STUDENTS

Overview

CGU’s Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) through UnitedHealthCare is required for all domestic and undocumented students enrolled in six or more units.

Waiver Options:

Students with comparable coverage can waive out of the Student Health Insurance Plan.

Students will receive an email from CGU Health Insurance (healthins@cgu.edu) that will link them to UnitedHealthcare’s waiver management system site.  If the student’s existing coverage meets the minimum requirements, the waiver management system will remove them from being automatically enrolled.

Students enrolled in less than six units but interested in enrolling in the domestic plan should contact healthins@cgu.edu.

Plan Information:

The current SHIP website, which includes coverage information is available online: https://www.uhcsr.com/CGU

Leave of Absences:

Students on a medical leave of absence will not be removed or have their policy canceled for that semester. If a student requests a leave of absence (non-medical) at the beginning of each term, they will not be enrolled in the SHIP policy.

Dependents:

Students interested in enrolling their dependent(s) should email: healthins@cgu.edu.

Dependents:

F-1 and J-1 students interested in enrolling their dependent(s) should email: healthins@cgu.edu.
