Dental and Vision Coverage

As a University of Denver student, you have the opportunity to enroll in a dental plan through Delta Dental and new this year, Delta Vision in partnership with VSP. 

Delta Dental of Colorado and VSP Vision Care are partnering to bring best-in-class vision benefits to complement our dental benefits. That means flexible, quality benefits you can sink your teeth into.

You can enroll in both the dental and vision or dental only or vision only. Once you make that decision, changes can not be done until the next enrollment period.

*DU students in completely online programs are not eligible to enroll in SHIP or receive services at the HCC.
