GatorGradCare Enrollment Walkthrough

Step-by-step Instructions

It is my first semester and I DO NOT have my policy information yet.

If it’s your first semester with GatorGradCare insurance, we know you do not have your policy information yet. Please follow these steps to submit your wavier anyway.

Step 1: Log in to the Student Self-Service Portal and click link to add new waiver.

Step 3: Answer “YES” to the questions on the eligibility questionnaire.

Step 4: Select the semester you are trying to waive.

Step 5: For insurance provider, select “GatorGradCare-New Members Only”.

Step 6: Enter UFS for the policy member ID number. This is the alpha prefix for all GatorCare member ID numbers.

Step 7: Leave everything else blank and click the blue Add button.

Step 8: Email Health Compliance (healthcompliance@shcc.ufl.edu) a screenshot of your myUFL Benefits Summary.

  1. Coordinate with the Graduate Assistant Benefits team about your enrollment in GatorGradCare.
  2. Allow a couple of days for your myUFL Benefits Summary to be updated after the enrollment (voluntary or automatic) is complete.
  3. Send us a screenshot of your benefits summary (Main Menu-> My Self Service-> Benefits-> Benefits Summary). The benefits summary must show Gator Grad Care Health as one of your selected benefits.
