All students at the University of Denver must have adequate health insurance. You must purchase the DU Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) if you do not already have health insurance through another source. DU offers two programs to ensure students have adequate access to health care: the Health and Counseling Fee (HCF) and the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP). Enrolling in both the HCF and the SHIP allows you to receive medical and mental health care at the HCC for little or no out-of-pocket cost.

SHIP Overview

You must purchase the DU Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) if you do not already have health insurance through another source. Students will automatically be enrolled in the SHIP each Fall and Spring. The 2007-2008 rate for the SHIP is $1,110 for each coverage period ($2,220 per year).
