Health Center

Mandatory Health Insurance SMU is very concerned about the health and well-being of all students and we at the Student Health Center are here to serve and provide students with medical care while attending the University.  In order to establish students have appropriate health care coverage, a mandatory health insurance requirement was passed by the President's Executive Council in February of 2008.  This mandatory health insurance policy requires domestic students enrolled in nine or more credit hours and international (F-1 visa holders) students taking one or more credit hours to maintain insurance coverage as a condition of enrollment.  This policy applies to both Undergraduate and Graduate students. SMU has partnered with Academic Health Plans and Aetna Student Health to offer those students in need of health insurance coverage a student-focused comprehensive medical plan designed to provide convenient and affordable access to medical care whether at school, at home and while traveling or studying abroad.  To view the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) please visit www.AHPcare.com/smu. Beginning November 2, 2009, SMU's mandatory policy requires those students with the enrollment status mentioned above to provide documentation of current insurance coverage or to enroll in the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP).  Students will do so by selecting the "Health Insurance" Button in the Student Center component of Access.SMU.  For students already maintaining their own private coverage the student must waive SHIP coverage in order to avoid automatic enrollment into SHIP and thereby have a premium charge of $1,016.00 per semester applied to the student's university account. For more information on how to WAIVE or ELECT coverage please visit www.smu.edu/healthinsurance. Click here for more information on the health center.
