How do newly-arrived international students who are Teaching or Research Assistants receive health insurance clearance?
Most TAs and RAs select employee rather than student insurance, since the University subsidizes part of the premium cost for their employees. TAs and RAs must complete the “Request for Alternative Health Insurance” form and attach evidence of their employee insurance choice by submitting a copy of the Health Insurance Enrollment form (EC-1) to the UHS health insurance officer, and a Payroll Notification Form (PNF) or letter from department showing the appointment dates.
