Extension Options

If you are already enrolled in SHP and going on a university approved leave of absence, graduating, or leaving the university, you may be able to extend your coverage. Your eligibility for a SHP extension and the length of the extension will depend on the effective date of your status change.

Important note for SHP Plus students: The SHP Plus program ended 6/30/23 and will not be available in the 2023-2024 academic year, regardless of registration status. If are going on leave and you were enrolled in SHP Plus through 6/30/23, you may be eligible to purchase a three-month extension on regular SHP. Email shp-medicaid@cornell.edu to discuss your options.
