UC SHIP Coverage Period

Your UC SHIP insurance coverage will end on the last day of the quarter within which you graduate, with the exception of spring quarter. Spring UC SHIP coverage extends through summer.

Graduated students who had UC SHIP during their final quarter at UCSB, will have a (1) quarter grace period (during the quarter immediately following graduation) to receive follow up care only at Student Health Service. All services will be charged at non-student rates and must be paid up front with a credit card.

Graduated students who were waived during their final quarter at UCSB, will have a (1) quarter grace period (during the quarter immediately following graduation) to receive a maximum of (2) behavioral health follow up appointments only at Student Health Service, at the discretion of the behavioral health director. All services will be charged at non-student rates and must be paid up front with a credit card.

A loss of coverage due to leaving UCSB would also be considered a qualifying event, and you are eligible to enroll with Covered California now by calling them directly at (800) 300-1506 or by visiting the Covered California website (http://www.coveredca.com/). If you qualify for coverage and enroll by the 15th day of the month, your coverage will begin on the first day of the next month; if you enroll after the 15th day of the month, your coverage will start on the first day of the second month.
