Health Care

Does the University contribute to the cost of health care?

Yes. The university contributes $280 for each Fall and Spring semester appointed if the assistant chooses to be covered by CampusCare. Graduate employees are also eligible for vision and dental coverage – the costs of which are also paid by the university. 

How do I show proof of student /employee status for CampusCare etc?

A copy of your CampusCare ID card can be printed from the website-  www.uic.edu/hsc/campuscare. Your notice of appointment is sufficient to access benefits if you are not yet entered into the system.

Can I add my partner/ children to CampusCare?

You can add your dependent child, spouse, or same sex partner to CampusCare during the enrollment period (see enrollment dates online). It is not possible to insure a partner of the opposite sex if you are not married. The university does not make any contributions to these premiums for grad employees.
