GA Health Insurance

Wichita State University and the Kansas Board of Regents are pleased to offer a student health insurance plan for eligible graduate assistants. For eligible graduate assistants, a portion of the premium is paid by the University IF the student is fully enrolled by February 12, 2024. The insurance coverage is effective January 1, 2024 for those students fully enrolled by January 31, 2024. For those fully enrolled between February 1, 2024 and February 12, 2024, coverage begins on the day the premium is paid. Coverage for the Spring 2024 semester ends on May 31, 2024.

To be eligible for the Spring semester, students must hold a 0.50 EFT (20-hour week) GTA, GRA, or GSA (or a combination of appointments totaling 20 hours per week) that begins no later than February 12, 2024 (20th day of classes), and concludes at the end of the Spring semester. The hiring documents must also be approved through all levels before February 12, 2024. Students are required to maintain appropriate enrollment while holding an assistantship.

Enrollment in the GA Health Insurance plan is a three step, online process:

  1. Fill out the online enrollment form (link available during enrollment period only)

    NOTE: Please ensure your email address is correct so you will receive the email from UHCSR to complete your enrollment!

  2. The Graduate School staff will review your enrollment form and if eligible, approve your application for the insurance. An email will be sent to you from the insurance company that instructs you to log back in and pay the premium.
  3. You will pay the premium online by credit card or e-check to complete your enrollment process.

ENROLLMENT MUST BE COMPLETED BY FEBRUARY 12, 2024.
