Student Health Insurance (F1 Student Visa holders only)

2024-2025 Academic Year

All F-1 International students at Pace University must purchase health insurance at the time of registration. If you would like to use your own health insurance policy, you must complete the health insurance waiver process before the first day of classes. The insurance company will evaluate your health insurance. If it is equivalent to the policy carried by Pace, you will receive a refund of the insurance fee. However, if it is not equivalent to Pace’s then you will not receive a refund. Please note that your insurance policy must carry medical evacuation and repatriation clause.

If you do not complete the online waiver before the first day of classes, you will automatically be enrolled in the Student Accident & Sickness Insurance Plan and be charged the premium for the session you are enrolled in.

*Weekly health insurance can only be purchased during break or vacation weeks between registered study periods.
