GA Health Insurance

蹤獲扦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 17, 2025. The insurance coverage is effective January 1, 2025 for those students fully enrolled by January 31, 2025. For those fully enrolled between February 1 and February 17, coverage begins on the day the premium is paid. Coverage for the Spring 2025 semester ends on May 31, 2025.

To be eligible for the Fall 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 17, 2025 (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 17, 2025. Students are required to maintain appropriate enrollment while holding an assistantship.

Enrollment in the GA Health Insurance plan is a simple online process. HOWEVER - data entry issues can make the process complicated. Please ensure you follow these instructions closely. Failure to do so could result in your insurance application being delayed or even denied. 

  1. Please go to the . Read the information there carefully to make sure you understand the process. Follow the link on that page to the actual enrollment form. 

  2. Fill out the required information on the form. DOUBLE CHECK THE FOLLOWING!!
    1. Did you enter your name correctly?
    2. Did you enter your my蹤獲扦 ID number correctly?
    3. Did you enter the CORRECT EMAIL ADDRESS? 
      1. You MUST use your "shockers.wichita.edu" email address
      2. DO NOT use the "mywsuID@wichita.edu" format - this is not an actual email address, it is a login credential. 
      3. DOUBLE CHECK that you spelled everything correctly in your email address. The insurance company will email you when your application is approved to request that you complete the next step in the process - an incorrect address will delay or completely derail your application. 
  3. For the Insured Category - select GRT - Graduate/Research/Teaching Assistants.

  4. If the Graduate School approves your application, you will be sent an email from the insurance company with a link to the payment process. Make sure to look for email from "@uhcsr.com", and add that domain to your safe senders list to ensure you don't miss the email. Check your junk mail folder as well to make sure it wasn't misdirected there.
  5. You will pay the premium online by credit card or e-check to complete your enrollment process

    International students once you have paid the premium, the insurance company will notify the Financial Operations Office and they will remove the Health Insurance charge from your student account. This usually takes 7-10 business days after payment of the premium.
