Cornell University Office of Student Health Insurance

The Cornell University Office of Student Health Insurance, conveniently located in Collegetown, provides services for students, spouses, same sex partners, and children enrolled in Cornell's Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP), including its optional vision and dental plans. It also provides oversight for Cornell's student health insurance requirements

Staff members can assist you by:

  • explaining important University health insurance requirements
  • clarifying the often-confusing language of insurance (e.g. what's a co-pay? in network provider?)
  • talking with you about Cornell's Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP)
  • helping you submit your expenses to SHIP

If you're a participant in SHIP, they can meet with you and/or your parent(s)/spouse/same sex partner about plan benefits. 

If you're not a participant in SHIP, they will do their best to point you in the right direction so that you can get your questions answered. Every plan works differently, so your own plan's administrator will be the expert to whom you will turn.
