If you have a full-time graduate assistantship (GA) with Grad Plan insurance then you will need to submit the Assistantship Verification Form<http://www.tamuc.edu/campusLife/campusServices/internationalStudentServices/FormsOnlineServices/assistantship_form.aspx> if you haven't already.  If you have submitted the form then no additional action is required:

*        The ISSSO is required to verify a student's GA and Grad Plan coverage from the A&M-Commerce HR Office and the A&M System Benefits Office each semester

*        Please allow up to 30 days from the start of the semester (August 28) to receive confirmation and update your student account

*        We utilize the verification form to address any discrepancies in the information reported to our office

*        We cannot waiver students simply because they submitted the verification form

If you have any questions, please email us at Intl.Stu at tamuc.edu<mailto:Intl.Stu at tamuc.edu> .
