Student Health Insurance
A UT Student Health Insurance Plan (UT-SHIP) is available through Academic Health Plans and is underwritten by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas. The UT System requires the following groups to maintain PPACA-compliant health insurance:
- All enrolled F- and J-visa holders throughout the duration of their studies.
- Visiting international scholars, faculty and student delegations throughout the duration of their program participation.
- Intercollegiate athletes throughout the duration of their sports participation. (The University carries catastrophic insurance on all student-athletes.)
Required coverage dates and detailed information is available on the OIP insurance webpage and through Academic Health Plans.
