Frequently Asked Questions & Answers
A benefit of being a Graduate Assistant (Class Code 9191, 9182, 9183, 9184 or
9185) is eligibility to participate in the Student Insurance Program. To be
appointed as a Graduate Assistant, you must be admitted to a graduate degree
program, be classified as a degree seeking student, and meet the requirements of
the Graduate School (i.e., be full-time, 9 hours in the fall and spring; 6 hours
in the summer; and maintain a 3.00 GPA). The University will pay up to $600/year
of the health insurance premium for individual coverage of those employees on a
.50 FTE appointment who elect coverage under the USF Student Health Insurance
Plan. The employer contribution will be paid directly to the insurer. The
employee is responsible for payment of the remainder of the insurance premium
for coverage selected by the employee.
