The Kansas State Employees Health Care Commission offers a student health insurance plan for Graduate Research Assistants (GRA) and Graduate Teaching Assistants (GTA). At the election of the student employee, coverage may also include dependents.
Eligibility for the GRA/GTA insurance is determined at the beginning of each semester. For each of the fall and spring semesters, the student must be appointed as a .5 GTA or GRA or any combination of the two for a minimum of eight consecutive work weeks during that semester. For the summer session, the student must be appointed as a .5 GTA or GRA or any combination of the two for a minimum of four consecutive work weeks from June 1 through July 31.
Premiums are paid at the time of applying for coverage for each semester. Return applications/renewal notices and payment to 103 Edwards Hall.

| Spring | January 1 - 31 | January 1 - May 31 |
