GSHIP is designed to ensure that our graduate students have health, vision, and dental coverage to support their health and wellness throughout their course of study. The program ensures students have direct support in either obtaining affordable healthcare coverage, if they are not yet covered, or verifying their existing health insurance.
GSHIP is an opt-out program that offers health insurance through Aetna Student Health, the SDSU negotiated plan. The program requires that domestic (non-international) students at SDSU and SDSU Imperial Valley who are in a graduate or credential program have health insurance.
Graduate students enrolled in a degree program through SDSU Global Campus or those enrolled in a fully online program, are not subject to the requirement and not eligible to enroll in the SDSU negotiated health insurance plan.
Dependents are not eligible.
