If you do not want the Student Health Insurance Plan, you must decline or opt-out of coverage by submitting a waiver. You may only opt-out of coverage during the following Online Waiver Periods:
Fall Semester: 07/16/2025 - 09/15/2025
Spring Semester: 12/02/2025 - 02/10/2026
Summer Semester: 04/15/2026 - 06/10/2026
All F1 visa holders are required to enroll in the University of Dallas Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) unless a waiver is submitted and approved. The cost of the insurance coverage is not included in your tuition or fees and will appear as an additional charge on your account. International students can request a waiver to SHIP but must demonstrate that they have equivalent, alternative health insurance coverage. In order to be approved for a waiver, your alternative health coverage must meet or exceed the requirements as set forth below and be submitted prior to the 09/15/2025 waiver deadline. Notification of acceptance or rejection of this request will be sent to your school’s email within seven business days.
NOTE: Travel plans or plans that require you to pay for treatment yourself and then apply for reimbursement will NOT be accepted by the University for waiver approval.
