Sept. 15: Fall 2021 Student Health Insurance Waiver Deadline
Sept. 15 is the last day to waive out of the fall 2021 health insurance for graduate students!
Students must complete a waiver once every academic year as waivers completed in previous years don't carry over.
If students don't complete a new waiver for the 2021-22 academic year, the charge will remain on their account and they'll be enrolled in the student health insurance.

Financial Literacy & Wellness Badges
As a graduate student, balancing family, school, work, and financial decisions can be stressful. This stress can be especially overwhelming because many of us have never learned about financial topics or how to manage our finances in a healthy and sustainable way. Without this information, we are often left to juggle immediate expenses, struggling to reduce debt and save money for emergencies.
Learn how to plan for your future financial success by earning new Financial Literacy & Wellness Graduate Badges! The Graduate College’s research- and expert-informed content will help you learn about financial topics, steps you can take to improve your current financial situation, and how to create a future with minimal financial anxiety and stress. Learn more and apply. Applications are being accepted on a rolling basis.
