The UMass Dartmouth Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) through Blue Cross Blue Shield costs $2,464.70 for the 2025-2026 academic year, covering August 1, 2025, through July 31, 2026. Students can waive this coverage if they have qualifying insurance, but they must submit a waiver form by the university's deadline.
