Either sign up for Penn Student Health Insurance or complete a student health insurance waiver
All full-time and dissertation status students are required to have acceptable health insurance coverage for both in-patient and out-patient medical care in the Philadelphia area and to provide information about their insurance coverage each year. As a condition of enrollment in the University, students subject to this requirement are required to either request an insurance waiver online or to actively enroll in Penn Student Insurance Plan (PSIP) online. Full-time and dissertation status students who do not file their selection by May 31st (summer enrollment) or August 31st (fall enrollment) will be enrolled in PSIP unless they provide proof of acceptable alternative coverage. Please note that students enrolled via this mechanism may experience a disruption in coverage due to the increased processing time. If you wish to be enrolled in PSIP please actively do so online. Check the SHS website for other important dates.
