Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP)
Colorado School of Mines requires all degree-seeking students, as well as all international students, to have quality health insurance. Being in good health supports academic success and achievement. Mines utilizes a “hard waiver” system, common on most campuses that have a health insurance requirement, to assure understanding of and compliance with this policy.
Every student is enrolled automatically in the Mines Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP). To waive annual enrollment
in SHIP, students must demonstrate that they have insurance
that meets all of Mines insurance requirements. The waiver/ enrollment period begins July 15, and continues to Census Day. These requirements, as well as instructions and deadlines to waive and enroll, can be found at studentinsurance.mines.edu.
SHIP is underwritten by National Guardian Life, and uses the
national Cigna PPO network. SHIP coverage is annual; coverage dates are August 1 to August 1 annually. SHIP fully complies with the PPACA and meets all the student health insurance standards developed by the American College Health Association. A plan brochure, available on the above website, will be mailed to each student with an address in the U.S. during the summer.
