The plan changes for the upcoming academic school year include:

} Undergraduate students must be enrolled in AT LEAST SEVEN (7) credit hours EACH SEMESTER to be eligible for the plan.

} Graduate voluntary students must be enrolled in AT LEAST FOUR (4) credit hours EACH SEMESTER to be eligible for the plan.

} International Students, Health Institution Students, Students working on research, dissertation or thesis, post doctorate, scholars, fellows, ESL program students, Fast Track Program Students, visiting scholars and students who are deemed full-time students by campus Disability Services, or other groups with reduced coursework that meet the criteria for exemption as approved by the UT System, are exempt from the above credit hour requirements.

} Enrollment will be verified EACH SEMESTER - Fall and Spring. For students applying for new UTSHIP coverage to be active for a Summer semester, additional enrollment requirements will apply. To remain eligible you must meet the required credit hours and be continuously enrolled throughout each semester. 

} If you enroll in the SHIP and do not meet eligibility requirements, your insurance coverage will be terminated immediately. You will be refunded the paid premium and claims will be denied.

} BEGINNING JANUARY 2020: Continuation coverage, which allows a student who is no longer eligible for UTSHIP to continue coverage under UTSHIP for a period of 3 months, is only available for International and Health Institution students.
