NU-SHIP Changes for 2025-26 Academic Year

As healthcare expenditures continue to rise nationwide, the cost associated with administering the Northwestern University Student Health Insurance Plan (NU-SHIP) has also increased. In evaluating potential modifications to the plan, we strive to balance the competing priorities of maintaining high-quality, consistent benefits and ensuring affordability for our diverse student population. For the upcoming renewal period, efforts were made to minimize premium increases while preserving the current plan design without any modifications.
