Graduate Student Subsidy

Eligible graduate students and their enrolled dependents in the Colleges of Arts and Letters, Science, Engineering, Keough School, and Mendoza (PhD select fellows) may receive a subsidy from the Graduate School for the cost of their health insurance.

Graduate students are automatically enrolled in the UnitedHealthcare StudentResources (UHCSR)  student insurance plan each year on 8/15. Insurance charges are added to a student's account in early July.  Dependents must be added each year via UHCSR self-enrollment.  To add dependents, please email insurancequestions@nd.edu.  Students will receive an email mid July with the waiver link and information about waiving off the school plan.  Students with eligible stipend funding will receive a fall ($1,368) and spring ($1,368) subsidy credit on their student account that covers each half of the cost of their premium ($2,736).

Subsidies are applied in mid-September and again in February, once the fall/spring insurance waive-out period has passed. Please do not panic if your student account shows that you have an insurance balance. The Office of Student Accounts knows the subsidy credit is forthcoming, and they do not expect students to pay fall/spring health insurance charges before September/February.
