Treatment at Health Services does not require insurance, and services are available to all students regardless of insurance coverage. However, health insurance is required by the University and ensures that students can access health care off-campus, consult with a specialist, and have adequate coverage for emergency treatment or hospitalization.
Students are encouraged to carry their health insurance card at all times.
Insurance Requirement
Trinity University requires all students enrolled in nine or more semester hours or enrolled in a full-time graduate program to have current hospitalization and accident insurance. Proof of insurance must be verified by the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) broker annually..

Immunization, Health Record, and Health Insurance Requirements for Students
All students, undergraduate or graduate, enrolling for nine or more hours or participating in a full-time graduate program are required to have health insurance.
Insurance Waivers
The Academic Health Plan waiver is available beginning in July through the end of the fall semester add/drop period (approximately 1 week after classes begin). A completed online waiver form allows you to decline coverage and have the charge removed from your student billing account.
If the waiver is not completed by the deadline, you will be enrolled in the student health plan and the corresponding charge cannot be cancelled.
Student Health Plan
Details about the Student Health Insurance Plan are available online. The 12-month premium is payable with tuition in the fall. If you are enrolled in this plan, you can obtain a copy of your insurance card and details about claims you file by creating an online account.
