Students will be enrolled in the plan unless you submit a waiver

All domestic students are required to enroll in D'Youville's Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) . The insurance fee will be charged to students' accounts. If you have alternative health insurance coverage, you may waive your enrollment in the SHIP.

Para renunciar al SHIP, D'Youville University exige que los estudiantes presenten prueba de una cobertura comparable a la que ofrece el SHIP de D'Youville. Tenga en cuenta que la solicitud de exención será revisada y verificada con la compañía de seguros. 

Waiver Requirements:

  1. Coverage must be active with the expectation that coverage will continue for the rest of the academic year 8/1/26 - 7/31/27.
  2. Coverage must be issued by an insurance company based in the U.S.
  3. Coverage must be ACA-compliant, meaning your plan:
    • Does not have limitations or exclusions for pre-existing conditions.

    • Does not have per year or lifetime benefit maximums on the Essential Health Benefits.
  4. Coverage must allow the insured student to receive routine medical care within a 50 mile radius of the Buffalo, NY campus (plans that only cover emergency care will not be accepted).
