As president of the Graduate Student Union (GSU), I am delighted you are here and want to encourage you to take advantage of the many opportunities the GSU offers. The GSU represents all of Notre Dame’s graduate students and works to improve the quality of life for students in the classroom, laboratory, or in the library, either through offering conference travel grants, opportunities to present their research at our annual Research Symposium, or hosting social events that foster relationships among fellow graduate students. We advocate for your needs and interests directly to the University Administration, and welcome any suggestions or topics for discussion as we strive to meet the needs of students in all disciplines. The GSU executive team is comprised of the president and co-vice presidents, committees (including academic affairs, external affairs and electronic resources, health care, orientation, publicity and procedures, quality of life, and social events), and department representatives. As with any association, the GSU’s quality and effectiveness is only as good as the participation of its members, so I strongly encourage you to be actively involved in the GSU during the upcoming year and throughout your career at Notre Dame. Our meetings are open to all grad students and are usually held the third Thursday of every month during the academic year at 6:30pm in the Notre Dame Room, LaFortune Student Center.

In coming to Notre Dame for your graduate training, you have selected an institution with a superb faculty, top graduate programs, and a commitment to research, teaching and service, all of which combine to offer you an integrated and ever-widening set of resources that will contribute to your formation as a researcher. At the center is you. The transition to graduate school is marked by a number of personal transformations: from being a consumer of information to becoming the creator of new knowledge; from being responsive to assignments and deadlines set by instructors to being proactive about setting up your own goals and timeline for progressing in your research; from learning from others to becoming the expert in your field and fostering the learning in others. Surrounding you are people and resources, positioned to help you along your journey to becoming a scholar. Your faculty mentor serves as your guide into your chosen field, leading you through the critical readings and procedures for conducting research in your field, mentoring your professional development, and helping you to create a professional network. You will work closely with your mentor throughout your 6 training, and the strongest mentoring relationships include open communication and clear expectations. Your peers, both within and outside your programs, offer you a scholarly and social network that will be vital to your holistic development as a scholar. Take the time to reach out and meet new people, talk about your research, learn about what others are doing. Collectively, you constitute the next generation of scholars. Your program, department and college offer you another set of resources that support your mastering of key milestones in your training, and your development towards independent thinking. Get to know your director of graduate studies and your department chair and dean who are all wonderful role models and are committed to your success. It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that I welcome you to the University of Notre Dame. I am thrilled that you have chosen this place to continue your studies and advance understanding of your chosen specialty through your research and inquiry. Notre Dame is a place where matters of faith are addressed with respect and where the wisdom of religious tradition sheds new light upon the most pressing concerns of our time. It is a university that strives to cultivate in its students both technical proficiency and an ethical, moral and spiritual integrity that lasts a lifetime. As a graduate student, I hope you will find your days here a time of personal growth, intellectual challenge, and professional exploration. I encourage you to be an active member of our community and seek the academic, social, recreational and spiritual opportunities which abound. Finally, the Graduate School offers a strong set of programs in professional development to assist you in mastering transferrable skills which augment your training and will contribute to your success launching your career, and in student life assuring your scholarly development is balanced with your social, physical and spiritual needs. The resources offered by the University in support of your work are plentiful. In particular, several programs offered by the Graduate School and the Graduate Student Union are offered to assist you in making a smooth and rapid transition to the University, and I urge you to take full advantage of these offerings. We are excited to have you on campus, and I hope to meet you and learn about your research. Please don’t hesitate to drop by and say hello. Again, I am glad to welcome you to Notre Dame. I wish you great success in your intellectual pursuits, and I look forward to seeing you sometime in the near future. G R A D UAT E S T U D E N T H A N D B O O K 2 014 -2 015 G S U. N D.

Waiver applications are done electronically through: aetnastudenthealth.com. You will receive multiple emails from UHS regarding the insurance plan prior to the waiver deadline. UHS will provide you a link in the email to apply for the waiver. The Notre Dame student health insurance plan is underwritten by Aetna Life Insurance Company. The coverage year runs from August 15, 2014, to August 14, 2015. Early in the fall semester, each student will receive a booklet detailing the insurance plan along with their health insurance ID card. You can also find a copy of the brochure and pamphlet at: uhs.nd.edu under the insurance tab. For information, please refer to the UHS website: uhs.nd.edu. Additional questions can be sent to the Assistant Director of Office Operations at the 14 Insurance and Billing office at UHS at 574.631.1882. There is only one plan available.

The deductible is a flat $500 per person, not per injury/ illness. Services rendered at University Health services are 100% reimbursed, no cost to the student except prescription copays and over the counter items.

EYE CAR E There is no cost for the Vision discount plan. It is already included in the premium package. It is a discount plan so charges to preferred providers are reduced. PR E S C R I P T I O N S For the best coverage, prescriptions must be filled at the University Health Center on campus. There are co-pays when you get your prescriptions filled at the UHS Pharmacy on campus. The co-pays are $5 (copay for generic), $25 (copay for brand-name) and $35 (copay for brand- name if generic available). Off campus, there is a yearly $100 prescription deductible. After the deductible has been satisfied, the coverage for prescriptions is as follows: $5 (generic prescription drug), $25 (preferred brand name prescription drug), no coverage for Non-Preferred brand name prescription drugs. Benefits for contraceptives are covered only when medically necessary. Allergy injections, serums and oral allergy medications for students are covered at University Health Services only. Immunizations for students at the Health Center are covered at 100%. C OU N S E L I N G & M E N TA L H E A LT H Treatment of mental health is covered the same as any other sickness. Students seeking mental health care are encouraged to visit the University Counseling Center (UCC) located in Saint Liam Hall. A referral from the UCC is needed for outside care. PR E V E N TAT I V E C A R E Each student is authorized one wellness physical or gynecological visit per coverage year. No referral is needed to visit an off- campus doctor for this purpose. R EFER R A LS A University Health Services referral is needed for most care done outside of the University Health Center (UHC). The exceptions are medical emergencies, maternity, routine exams, mammograms, chiropractic care, dental care and when the UHC is closed or the student is more than 25 miles from campus. Referrals are needed for students only, and not for dependents. N O N -U N I V E R S I T Y PROV I DE R S To see an off- campus doctor (within a 25 mile radius of campus), students must first receive a referral from the University Health Center (except for Obstetrics and Gynecology care, Mammograms, Wellness physicals, Chiropractors, and dentists). “OU T O F N E T WO R K ” PROV I DE R S Lower benefits and higher out-ofpocket expenses are incurred when a student seeks medical care outside of the network.
