The Graduate School Students

TGS works with the Student Health Insurance office and the Office of Risk Management to provide health insurance to TGS students. TGS lobbies on behalf of the graduate student population, and participates on a Student Health Insurance Policy Committee, but final decisions regarding University health insurance policy and requirements, and NU-SHIP plan design, are not made by TGS. TGS often subsidizes the cost of the premiums for the NU-SHIP. Please visit the TGS website, or contact TGS directly, for more information regarding your subsidy.

Please note: per Northwestern University policy, international students (students holding an F-1 or J-1 U.S. Visa) may not waive the NU-SHIP.

Students registered for TGS 512 are also enrolled in the NU-SHIP annually, and must waive NU-SHIP enrollment in CAESAR with comparable coverage during the open enrollment period. If a waiver is not submitted during this applicable open enrollment period you will be held financially responsible for the premium cost.
