Graduate Student Health Insurance Program

Beginning Fall 2007, all graduate assistants with assignments of 10 hours (0.25 FTE) or greater for the full semester in the Fall and/or Spring semesters, who meet the minimum monthly stipend established by the Office of the Provost, and are in good academic standing are required to have health insurance coverage.

For students with qualifying assistantships as described above, there is a $500 ($250 per semester) subsidy that will be automatically applied along with the charges for insurance. This brings the cost for Fall to $311, which would be about $52 per month if it were charged monthly.

This group will be automatically enrolled in the Auburn University Graduate Student Group Health Plan (GSGHP). The 2009-2010 premium is $1,113, which will be billed in two installments of $561 for Fall and $552 for Spring/Summer. 

If one has equivalent/greater prior coverage and can so demonstrate, that person may choose to opt out of the University plan.   Those who wish to opt out must complete the required form by the end of the 9th class day of a given semester or they must continue to be enrolled in the GSGHP for the remainder of that semester.

International graduate students and dependents in F or J immigration status will continue to be covered and billed similarly under the Mandatory International Student and Scholar Health Plan - check with the Office of International Education ( insurance@auburn.edu ) for details.

Those graduate students who do not qualify for the automatic enrollment may opt-in to the program. They must complete a request form and submit it to the Graduate School. For further information on optional enrollment, please click on "Detailed Enrollment Information" below.
