The CU Anschutz Student Health Insurance Plan waiver period is available from 5/2/2025 thru 6/18/2025. If you miss the waiver deadline but have other insurance that meets the waiver requirements, please email the SHIP Office for information on submitting an appeal request.

For students who are newly enrolled for Summer 2025, coverage is effective 6/1/2025 - 7/31/2025. If you submitted a waiver during the Fall or Spring and it was approved, you do not need to submit another waiver for Summer 2025. The Spring waiver is valid for 1/1/2025 - 7/31/2025. Only students who are newly enrolled (beginning their program at CU Anschutz) for Summer 2025 will need to submit a waiver if they do not wish to be automatically enrolled into the CU Anschutz SHIP. Another waiver will be required in August for the new school year.

Summer Waiver - Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The Summer waiver is valid for 06/01-07/31 and a new waiver will be required for the Fall semester. If you have other comparable coverage during 06/01-07/31 and wish to waive the Summer coverage, you may do so. When the Fall waiver/enrollment period begins, you will be automatically enrolled into the CU Anschutz SHIP unless a new waiver is submitted at that time.

Once your waiver is approved, it may take up to 5-10 business days from the date you receive your approval for the fee to be removed from your account. If you have already paid your tuition and fees in full, then you will receive a refund for the full amount of the student insurance fee.

Yes, if you have already paid your tuition and fee in full prior to submitting your waiver, then once your waiver is approved you will receive a full refund in the amount of the SHIP fee. It may take up to 5-10 business days after receiving your waiver approval for the fee to be refunded.

We understand that student employees intending to utilize the CU Tuition Assistance Benefit are not able to register for courses until the first day of classes. This can be tricky to navigate since the waiver portal takes 1-2 business days after registering for courses to recognize your student information. If you are an employee enrolled in a CU Health Plan, please reach out to our office directly and we will assist with manually waiving your student insurance fee each semester upon verifying your coverage with the CU Health Plan team. (Please provide your student ID, employee ID, and full name in your email.)
