Matriculation Timeline


Student Health Insurance

MUSC requires all students to maintain health insurance as a condition of enrollment. Please visit the MUSC Student Health Insurance website to familiarize yourself with benefits, costs, deadlines, etc. You are encouraged to choose an insurance plan that best meets your needs. Your tuition account will be automatically charged each semester for the new school-sponsored student health insurance plan through BlueCross BlueShield.

The MUSC Academic Health Plan (AHP) website will go live Summer 2023 (typically late June) with insurance plans and information for the upcoming semester. Incoming students can initiate insurance enrollment or decline coverage after this time via the MUSC My AHP website. Students who wish to decline coverage must submit a waiver via the My AHP Care website to decline the coverage and provide proof of insurance. A waiver of insurance must be submitted each semester to continue declining coverage.
