Health insurance
Rutgers University requires full-time students and all F&J Rutgers-sponsored visa students to waive or enrol in the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) each semester before the deadline. Students who already have comprehensive health insurance can complete the waiver form each semester before the deadline. Students with New Jersey Family Care (NJFC) can also waive the Student Health Insurance Plan each semester. However, if the waiver deadline is missed, students will be enrolled in SHIP and responsible for paying the premium on the term bill.
Students who do not have their own health insurance coverage will be automatically enrolled in the Student Health Insurance Plan. For graduate students attending full-time, it is mandatory to obtain or provide proof of health insurance. Students can find detailed information regarding costs and coverage on the Rutgers University Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) website.
Part-time students (except international F1, J1 Rutgers-sponsored visa students) do not pay the health fee and are responsible for all co-payments and uncovered charges. However, they are eligible to purchase the SHIP. The university strongly encourages all students to maintain adequate health insurance coverage at all times.
Students must present their insurance card (physical or digital photo) at the time of their visit to Rutgers Student Health. Verification and eligibility for coverage will be confirmed at each visit.
