We believe it's important to have health insurance. If you don't, please take advantage of these opportunities through U-M to get insurance.
U-M Domestic Student Health Insurance Plan
This plan was developed to meet student needs. It is only available to current U-M students during the open enrollment periods, with exceptions for qualifying life events.
If you have a qualifying life event, such as turning age 26 and being removed from your parent's health insurance, the birth of a baby, marriage, or the ending of an insurance policy, you are eligible to enroll outside of the open enrollment periods. Enrollment must occur within 30 days of the qualifying event.
See DSHIP for enrollment information and costs for this plan.
