Since your Summer Success Program begins prior to the start fall quarter, you are eligible for the Early Start UC SHIP (ES UC SHIP) which provides insurance coverage for the period before fall quarter starts. There is a quarterly fee for the UC SHIP plus a one-time supplement fee for ES UC SHIP. The cost for UC SHIP is $657 per quarter. The cost of the ES UC SHIP will vary depending on your program start date. Refer to the Early Start UC SHIP Agreement form for cost information.

Students enrolling in the ES UCSHIP must remain enrolled in UCSHIP for fall quarter. If you enroll in the ES UC SHIP coverage and later waiver UC SHIP during the FALL 2021 waiver period, your waiver will be denied for fall quarter.

You must complete a MANDATORY Health Insurance Agreement form to opt in to the school insurance offering. To waive the insurance requirements, a health fee waiver must be filed on Triton Link using your coverage information.

If a waiver is not submitted, the student will automatically be enrolled in the school offered insurance and will remain on the insurance through the Fall 2021 quarter.

***IF OPTING OUT, an Early Start form is required & the online waiver application must be submitted via Triton Link by September 9th. If you are approved for the online waiver application — you will be waived for the entire academic school year.
