Beginning with the 1999-2000 academic year, all graduate teaching assistants and graduate research assistants with appointments that qualify for full tuition remission will receive, as an additional benefit, basic coverage under UNL's student health insurance plan. For graduate assistants paid from state-aided funds, the cost of this coverage will be paid centrally. For graduate assistants paid from grants, contracts, or other sources, those funding sources will be required to pay the cost of the benefit.
Dependent plans are also available on an optional basis.
