Coverage After Your Graduate Position Ends
After losing eligibility for the Graduate Assistant Health Plan (GAHP), you have the option to continue coverage for up to 18 months at your own expense.
You will lose GAHP eligibility if:
- Your assistantship drops below 195 hours (less than a 25% appointment)
- You leave your appointment
- Your appointment, fellowship, or traineeship ends
Coverage Continuation
To request continuation, complete the Continuation of Coverage Enrollment Form and return it to the Office of Student Health Benefits within 60 days of loss of coverage. You must include the method of payment for the first two months of coverage with your completed form.
Current students enrolled in the Continuation of Coverage option with or without dependents must re-enroll to remain on the Continuation of Coverage option.
