Student insurance portal opens June 14

All students are required to carry a comprehensive medical insurance plan while attending CU Boulder. Complete your requirements now for the fall semester. The portal opens June 14 and closes Sept. 15.

Students may elect health insurance coverage through:

  • Anthem Gold Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP), a plan exclusively for CU students
  • Private insurance, an individual health insurance plan through a family member or employer

Students must meet this requirement their first semester at CU Boulder and at the beginning of each academic year. Those taking 6 or more undergraduate credit hours or 1 or more graduate credit hours are required to complete the health insurance requirement process.

Once a student is registered for their semester credits, the student will begin receiving email communications from Academic HealthPlans. These emails explain the insurance requirement and outline the process of enrolling or waiving the Anthem Gold SHIP.

All fee-paying students, regardless of their insurance plan, have full access to the services provided by Health and Wellness Services.
