Cornell University requires all students* to have health insurance that meets the university's student health insurance criteria.
Cornell Student Health Benefits confirms that each student satisfies this requirement when they either
(a) submit proof of health insurance that meets criteria, or
(b) are automatically enrolled in the Student Health Plan (SHP).
Cornell Student Health Benefits also administers SHP and facilitates optional dental and vision insurance plans.
Cornell Student Health Benefits strives to educate and empower students to take charge of their health care.
We ensure Cornell students have health insurance that promotes personal and financial well-being and supports their pursuit of Cornell’s mission.
We are guided by Cornell’s core values and our own commitment to accessibility, coverage, compliance, engagement, service, and sustainability. Read our full values statement.
