Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP)

Most UMass Boston students are required by Massachusetts law to have health insurance. Eligible students are automatically enrolled in the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) unless they waive coverage by the applicable deadline.

While University Health Services accepts the Student Health Insurance Plan for covered medical services, the plan itself is administered by the Bursar's Office, University Health Plans (UHP), and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts (BCBSMA).

Please use the resources below to find the information you need.
