<DIV dir=ltr><FONT color=#000000 size=2 face=Arial>We would like to provide an update regarding the waiver process for international students who have the GA insurance. The A&M System and SSHIP has clarified that it IS NOT necessary for international students who have GA insurance to apply for a waiver with the SSHIP Academic Health Plans. The A&M System will be responsible to verify all GA's to the SSHIP each semester. </FONT></DIV>
