Health Insurance

All graduate students who are enrolled full-time are required to have health insurance.  A charge for the Georgetown University sponsored plan will AUTOMATICALLY be charged to the student account of those graduate students who are enrolled for 8 or more credits; those who are enrolled in Thesis Research are eligible to apply for such coverage.  Graduate students who are already insured under another plan and whose coverage will continue for the entire school year must WAIVE the University insurance in order to have the charge removed from their student account.

Doctoral students who are awarded an assistantship or fellowship that provides a full stipend will have the fee for the Georgetown University sponsored plan paid by the Graduate School.  In order to be eligible, during the Fall and/or Spring semester the student must hold a full-stipend Graduate School assistantship (one in which the student performs 15 hours or more of service per week) or hold  a non-service fellowship.

The funds provided by the Graduate School may ONLY be used to pay the fee assessed for the Georgetown University sponsored student health insurance plan.  These funds may not be used for any other purpose, including the purchase of other insurance coverage.  If a student waives the Georgetown University sponsored plan, the Graduate School funds will be withdrawn from the student's account.

Under the Georgetown University sponsored health insurance plan, covered students have the option of purchasing dependent coverage.  The funds provided by the Graduate School, however, will be limited to the cost for coverage of the eligible student alone.
