<p class=MsoNormal>Starting this spring 2011 semester, all F-1 and J-1
international students will be automatically enrolled in the A&M System
health insurance AIP plan. For more information please visit <a
href="http://www.tamuinsurance.com">www.tamuinsurance.com</a> and select Texas
A&M University-Commerce and A&M Basic 50k International Insurance. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='color:red'>The only exceptions to the mandatory
enrollment are students with graduate assistantship insurance, government
scholarships that include insurance (Canada, Saudi Arabia), and students with
spouses working in the U.S. who are covered by their spouses insurance as long
as it meets our minimum coverage requirements. <span style='background:
yellow;mso-highlight:yellow'>IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO PROVIDE PROOF THAT
YOU MEET ONE OF THE ABOVE EXCEPTIONS!</span><o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Students who are awarded a graduate assistantship and
purchase the GA insurance must provide proof of the GA position (letter from
department) and proof of the insurance coverage from Pat Kropp in the Human
Resource office on the first floor of the McDowell Administration building
(BA). If you are awarded a GA for the first time in the spring 2011
semester and sign up for the GA insurance there is a 90 day waiting period
before the insurance is effective. You will still be required to pay the full
$274 insurance premium at the beginning of the semester and you will be
refunded the difference once your GA insurance is effective. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The $274 insurance premium will be charged to your student
account as a separate charge and is not included with your regular tuition and fees.
<b><u><span style='font-size:14.0pt;color:red;background:yellow;mso-highlight:
yellow'>This $274 premium MUST be paid by the 20<sup>th</sup> day of class in
the spring semester or your classes will be dropped. When you make a
payment for your tuition and fees please contact the Bursar’s office at
903-886-5050 (5051) to have your payment applied to the insurance.</span><span

of the semester WILL NOT be automatically applied to the insurance premium so
you will need to ensure your payment is applied to the insurance charge by the
20<sup>th</sup> day of class. </span></u></b> <o:p></o:p></p>
