Special Coverages
There are three different categories below in which MSU Denver students can opt-in to the Student Health Insurance Plan by the posted enrollment deadline.
For students who meet the category requirement, they can voluntarily opt-in by the posted deadline by submitting any required documentation and application form to the MSU Denver Student Insurance office at [email protected]
For students who have had a recent loss of coverage after the semester’s opt-in deadline, and are currently registered for 9 credits (6-8 for graduate students) who want to know if they qualify for SHIP, should contact the Student Insurance Office at [email protected]
Graduate Students
Graduate students taking 6-8 credits in Fall or Spring Semester can opt-in to SHIP by completing and submitting the Graduate Student Enrollment Form to the MSU Denver Student Insurance office at [email protected] by the opt-in deadline posted on Coverage Dates, Premiums & Deadlines.
Graduating Students
Undergraduate students taking less than 9 credit hours in their final semester prior to graduation, can enroll in SHIP by completing the Graduating Student Enrollment Form. In addition, written documentation by the student’s academic advisor stating the student has less than 9 credit hours to graduate and that the student will graduate at the end of the enrolled semester, and graduation credit report is required!
The enrollment form, academic advisor letter, and graduation credit report all must be emailed together to the MSU Denver Student Insurance office at [email protected] by the posted opt-in deadline to enroll in SHIP.
Summer Semester Coverage
If you are already enrolled in Spring Semester SHIP, the coverage period includes Summer Semester coverage!
Optional Summer Semester health insurance coverage is available to incoming undergraduate students who register for 9 or more summer credits, or graduate students who register for 6 or more summer credits, by the opt-in deadline. There is no requirement for students to be enrolled in SHIP for summer semester, only if they were already enrolled in SHIP for Spring semester because it is a total of 7 months of coverage, which includes summer semester.
Your tuition account cannot be billed for the summer health insurance premium, instead the Summer Enrollment Form and full premium must be paid by credit card and submitted to [email protected] by the opt-in enrollment deadline, posted on Coverage Dates, Premiums & Deadlines, in order to be enrolled.
