Graduate students are eligible to enroll in the UT System Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP).
Effective Fall 2022, all full-time fully funded (FFDR) doctoral students with full graduate assistantships will be enrolled as prepaid Single Subscriber in the UT System Student Health Insurance Plan (UTSHIP). Full-time fully funded (FFDR) doctoral students have 30 days from enrollment period start date, September 1, to either opt out of UTSHIP coverage OR add additional coverage (dental/vision) and/or dependents at their own expense. All other graduate students can enroll themselves in this plan at their own expense.
