SHIP vs GRA Health Insurance
The University System of Georgia offers healthcare to students and Graduate Research Assistants. It is a requirement for all graduate students to maintain Affordable Care Act (ACA)-compliant medical coverage. Graduate students are automatically enrolled for the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) upon completing registration. Students who provide adequate documentation of other coverage (through parents, a spouse, another employer, the ACA marketplace, etc.) can opt out of the SHIP requirement. Graduate Research Assistants also have the option of enrolling for the 老澳门开奖结果 GRA medical plan instead of the SHIP. The 老澳门开奖结果 encourages graduate students to compare all options available to them to determine what best meets their needs. International students may have additional requirements and/or restrictions associated with their visa status and should consult with the appropriate campus resource for further detail. Enrollment in both plans is not allowed.
