International Graduate Assistants, Teaching Assistants, and Fellows
Florida International University provides subsidized health insurance to all International Graduate Assistants, Teaching Assistants, and Fellows holding a full-term appointment for 20 hours per week. The insurance holds of international students is removed by FIU’s Student Health Services (SHS) once the insurance enrollment information for students holding GA/RA/TA contracts is available to them. The insurance enrollment list is to be submitted to SHS as soon as all contract details are in (prior to registration deadlines).
International Graduate Assistants will pay a percentage of the insurance premium through payroll deduction. All international Graduate Assistants are required to participate in this health insurance opting out of the GA Health Insurance Plan does not apply to international students, or students on an F1 or J1 visa.
Please be aware that there is a 24-48 hours processing time during weekdays for all incoming documents. To check the status of your hold, you may log on to your my.fiu.edu
