Health Insurance for International Students

As a condition of enrollment, University of San Francisco (USF) requires students to have health insurance, both to protect against unexpected high medical costs and to provide access to quality care. The following students will be charged the health insurance premium on their Student Account as a separate fee.

If a student's health coverage is dropped, it is the student's responsibility to contact Health Promotion Services to discuss their options at hps@usfca.edu or (415) 422-5797.
