When Coverage Begins and Ends
What you need to know
Registered students who are automatically enrolled in UC SHIP are covered while attending classes, during term breaks, and through the summer — up until the end of the day before the next fall term begins.
Non-registered and eligible dependents who enroll in UC SHIP are covered from the first day of the enrolled term until the start of the following term. For continued coverage, eligible dependents must reenroll each term.
Periods of coverage
Coverage periods align with academic term dates.
After graduating, your coverage continues until the end of the day before the next academic term begins. For example, if you graduate during the spring term, your coverage continues through the summer until the day before the start of the next fall term.
You cannot continue UC SHIP coverage beyond your final academic term. Your UC SHIP coverage will end the day before the next academic term begins.
