Student Health Insurance


It is Cornell University policy that every full-time registered student has quality health insurance coverage that supports their health, well-being, and ability to participate fully in the Cornell experience.

To ensure that students have adequate insurance, all students are automatically enrolled each year in Cornell’s Student Health Plan (SHP), which provides excellent coverage on campus, in the Ithaca community, and anywhere in the world.   

Domestic students who can demonstrate that they have alternate health insurance that meets Cornell’s requirements may apply to waive their enrollment in SHP (Fall 2016 waiver application deadline: August 16). Students who waive SHP pay a Student Health Fee that gives them pre-paid access to care at Cornell Health, and helps support campus health initiatives.

For more information about SHP, Cornell’s requirements, the waiver application process, and the Student Health Fee, please visit studenthealthbenefits.cornell.edu. If you have additional questions, please contact the Office of Student Health Benefits at (607) 255-6363 or studentbenefits@cornell.edu.
