<p>hey guys, so i have a question about the ship program. do you automatically get it wen you pay for your tuition? i mean, how does it work?</p>
<p>Once you pay pay your tuition (I forgot when that is), you automatically get the SHIP. With that, if a health problem arises, you can bring yourself over to the student health center and they can help you over there or send you on your way to a specialist. With the UC system (not sure about the other universities), you get SHIP by default so you all you need is to pay your tuition and you get it. If you don’t want it, then there’s a page you need to fill out online and submit stating that you have your own health insurance.</p>
