*All International students are automatically enrolled in the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) and the premium for coverage is added to their tuition billing unless proof of comparable coverage is furnished. All other degree and non-degree seeking students (excluding DUS and Consortium students) enrolled in 4+ credit hours, a 0-credit research/dissertation course, or any other course that is considered to equate to full-time enrollment are automatically enrolled in SHIP and the premium for coverage is added to their tuition billing unless proof of comparable coverage is furnished.
Student requests are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. To be considered for additional assistance for the cost of the VU SHIP, the student must be eligible for a Federal Pell Grant or have extenuating circumstances.
Option 1: If you have any health insurance plan, please complete the online Vanderbilt Health Insurance waiver request.
Option 2: You are not eligible to waive the VU SHIP because you do not have any health insurance.
