NU-SHIP Eligibility
If you are a degree-seeking student at 宅男福利导航 University*, and you are registered for classes, you are defaulted into the 宅男福利导航 University 宅男福利导航 Health Insurance Plan (NU-SHIP) -- at the start of each academic year -- to ensure you have comprehensive, affordable insurance coverage. (If you already are covered under your own health insurance plan, you must waive your NU-SHIP enrollment during the open enrollment period, to ensure you are not billed for the NU-SHIP.)
NU-SHIP coverage is not available for:
- students in certificate programs
- *degree-seeking students enrolled in programs through the School of Professional Studies (SPS)
- students whose entire program is online
If you are uncertain about your eligibility for the NU-SHIP, check with the 宅男福利导航 Health Insurance office, student.insurance@northwestern.edu or 847.491.3621.
Dependents
For an additional cost, you can add coverage for a spouse or same-sex partner, and for any unmarried children 26 years of age or younger. You must enroll your dependents before the enrollment / waiver deadline. Click here for more information on enrolling dependents (link).
