CruzCare
Waiving UC SHIP? Consider CruzCare
CruzCare coverage ensures that students with APPROVED waivers have access to *care of acute illness or acute injury, including some in-house Student Health Center Laboratory tests and all in-house X-rays. The fee is $125.00 per quarter. The fee is applied automatically to the student's account when they select CruzCare. For students waiving UC SHIP, CruzCare is the best and most cost effective way to take advantage of the on-campus convenience and college health expertise available at the UCSC Student Health Center. One visit at the Student Health Center without UC SHIP or CruzCare will cost more than the cost of CruzCare coverage for the entire quarter.
