Graduate Student Employees
Graduate Student Employees who meet the requirements are automatically waived.
Beginning in mid-August, the office at each campus that handles health insurance enrollment for the International Students, will receive a list of GSE’s that can be waived from the SHIP fee for the current semester. This report is provided by System Benefits Administration and is based on several factors.
The GSE Waiver Report is run weekly from mid- August to early October. If you do not meet the requirements for a waiver of SHIP, and you have overlapping International and GSE coverage during the semester you will be refunded accordingly for the overlapping months of coverage. AHP will automatically refund this premium to you, once the semester is over and students accounts have been reconciled.
