Financial Support: If you have been awarded financial support (Research Assistantship, Teaching Assistantship, stipends and/or Traineeships), please contact Payroll Coordinator Steve Leigh (sleigh@uw.edu) as soon as you arrive to complete the required paperwork.

Note: Should you receive a tuition billing or notice of loss of GAIP insurance coverage, which occasionally occurs, please contact Steve.

Insurance: If you have financial support through the department, you are covered through the Graduate Appointee Insurance Plan. Students who are covered by this plan should not enroll for insurance through the MyUW registration system.

EXCEPTION: international students who have financial support through the department MUST enroll for the student insurance. The system will automatically waive the fee for coverage and you will not receive a bill.

IMPORTANT: ALL students who are eligible for Graduate Appointee insurance MUST enroll at the UW Benefits website within 30 days of eligibility.
