DOMESTIC STUDENTS WAIVER
All full-time domestic students are automatically enrolled in SAIC’s Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP). The insurance fee will appear on students’ accounts as an additional charge, separate from tuition and other fees. If students have alternative health insurance coverage, a waiver may be submitted.
To be eligible for a waiver of enrollment in the SHIP, SAIC requires that students provide evidence of coverage equal to or better than the coverage provided by SAIC’s SHIP. Please be advised that the waiver request will be reviewed and verified active with the insurance carrier. Notification of acceptance or rejection of waiver requests will be sent to students’ SAIC email addresses within seven business days.
To qualify for a waiver, your health insurance plan must meet the requirements listed below.
If your plan meets the above criteria and you want to waive enrollment from the Student Health Insurance Plan, please acquire an electronic copy of the front and back of your insurance ID card and then select the link below to submit your waiver request. Once you login, select the WAIVE button under the “I Already Have Insurance.” section.
