USC health insurance Waiver Guide 2026-2027 year

Prepare before you start

1. Keep the Confirmation PDF received after enrollment.
2. Prepare your personal Policy Number or Member ID, Group Number, Subscriber name, date of birth, address, and other insurance-card details.
3. Prepare clear front and back images of your insurance card.
4. The source guide shows a USC waiver deadline of 09/11/2026. Submit early and save the confirmation screenshot.

If the dropdown options or field names differ from the screenshots, follow the current USC system.

01 - Open the official USC waiver page

Open USC MySHR. You can also open the USC SHIP page and select Insurance Waiver. After signing in to MySHR, select Insurance Waiver/Enrollment on the left. Confirm that the current application is 2026-2027 Waiver, check the displayed deadline, and click Proceed.

02 - Review and confirm the Primary Waiver Rules

Every confirmation item marked with ** must be checked. Read each statement carefully before continuing. The source screenshot includes a final Proceed action; after submission, the form may not be editable.

03 - Enter the coverage plan information

In Insurance Plan, search for WellAway or USC World Elite if that matches your purchased plan. If your plan is not listed, check My insurance plan is not listed / I have other insurance and complete the fields manually.

• Policy Number: enter the personal Member ID shown on your insurance card.
• Group Number: copy it from your insurance card.
• Start Date and End Date: confirm that the dates match your purchased coverage.

Do not copy a Plan ID from the first page of a PDF when the form asks for your personal Policy Number or Group Number. Use the values on your own insurance card. The screenshot shows a World Elite 450 / 250 / Plus example with coverage through August 14, 2027; treat it as an example only.

04 - Enter the Subscriber information

If the student is the policyholder, select Self / Student. Enter the name, date of birth, sex, email, and address exactly as shown on the insurance card or account. If the coverage belongs to a parent or spouse, select the actual relationship and use the correct subscriber information.

• Use the English spelling of the last name and first name from the insurance card or passport.
• Leave Middle Name and Name Suffix blank when they do not apply.
• Enter the date of birth in MM/DD/YYYY format.
• Use your current U.S. address and leave Address Line 2 blank if there is no apartment or unit.

05 - Upload the front and back of the insurance card

Upload the Front Image and Back Image. Each image should be clear, show all four corners, and make the name, Policy Number or Member ID, and customer service phone readable. After both sides are uploaded, click Proceed.

06 - Review and submit

Return to the final confirmation page and recheck every selected option, field value, date, and uploaded file. When everything is correct, click Proceed / submit the final content of the form. The source guide notes that the form normally cannot be changed directly after submission, so save the successful submission page.

After submission

Save the submission success page or confirmation email. If USC later requests additional documents or corrections, respond promptly through the system instructions.
