Domestic Partner Benefits

The University offers limited domestic partner benefits to graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, faculty, and staff.

Undergraduate Students

At this time, there is no spousal or domestic partner benefit for students enrolled in the Student Blue Student Health Insurance plan. Undergraduate students have access to on-campus family housing at Baity Hill.

Graduate Students and Postdoctoral Fellows

UNC-Chapel Hill offers students/Postdocs enrolled in the RA/TA (Graduate Student Support plan) and the Postdoctoral Fellows plan the opportunity to purchase health insurance for their domestic partner. Graduate students also have access to campus family housing. Effective January 2016, Baity Hill no longer accepts applications for postdoctoral fellows. (Source: Carolina Housing)
