Enroll/Cost

The MSU Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) offers health coverage for students and their eligible dependents through Aetna. If you are a medical student or international student, you are automatically enrolled in the SHIP. If you are a student that does not fall into one of these groups, you are eligible to voluntarily enroll in the SHIP. Through this plan, you have access to quality health care through hospitals, physicians and affiliated health care professionals in the Aetna provider network.

If you are taking one or more credits for the enrollment period and are in one of these student categories, you are eligible to participate in the plan. Eligible students include:
