Health Programs At-a-Glance

Mills College collaborates with the University Health Services (UHS) at UC Berkeley to provide health care services to all undergraduate and graduate students. Learn about this important collaboration and the services available to you at Mills and the UHS Tang Center.

Understanding Health at Mills

All Mills students are required to have major medical insurance. Get information about "Basic Medical Services" and the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) to use in making important healthcare decisions.

Fee Waiver Reminder

As a Mills student you are automatically enrolled in SHIP. If you decide to waive out of the insurance plan, it is important that you provide proof of comparable medical insurance coverage and submit a completed "Medical Waiver Form" by August 1, 2008.
