Admitted Curry Students
Welcome to the Curry School and the University of Virginia! We are looking forward to having you join us this fall. In the meantime, here are a few things to keep in mind.
UVa Graduate Guide
The folks at U.Va. have done a great job compiling a list of links that cover all sorts of things that graduate students might want to know. Here is the UVa Graduate Guide.

Health Insurance
Health insurance coverage begins August 15th. If you are receiving a Graduate Student Health Insurance Subsidy, the cost of health insurance coverage for 12 months is covered for you ($2092 in 2009-2010). When registering for classes on SIS, the university database, you should elect coverage and then follow the instructions to enroll. You will receive an email confirming enrollment. See the Student Health Center's website for details about the insurance plan.
Financial Matters
If you are responsible for paying part of your tuition yourself (i.e., it is not covered through departmental or grant funds), please see the Student Accounts website for information about an optional monthly payment plan. Early enrollment is required.
You will need to complete employment forms in order to get paid for your work as a GRA. By July 1st (at the latest), please submit the two forms below to:
UVA Payroll Division
