Student Health Insurance

Student Health Insurance Requirements

ALL undergraduate students, medical, on-campus nursing, on-campus Health Science, and ALL international students holding a J1 or F1 visa are required to carry student health insurance while studying at GW.  These students will be automatically enrolled in the GW SHIP and must submit an opt-out waiver if they have another insurance plan that meets the required criteria. Those students not listed above, may voluntarily enroll in SHIP.

For more information on the GW SHIP or on mandatory health insurance, please email [email protected] or contact the Health Insurance Coordinator, 202-994-5300, option 5.
