Student Health Insurance Requirement
Responsible Office: Business Office

Saint Francis University values the health and wellbeing of its students. Qualifying health coverage provides all full-time, matriculated undergraduate and graduate students, including international students, with the ability to be prepared for medical situations such as hospitalization, surgery, or specialty care. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires U.S. citizens to have health insurance that meets certain standards identified within this policy or pay a penalty. The University requires international students to carry health insurance that meets the same standards so that they may be prepared for medical situations. 

To help students meet the obligations of the ACA, the University sponsors a student health insurance plan that offers full-time, matriculated undergraduate and graduate students, including international students, access to an ACA compliant plan. The health insurance plan is available for purchase annually.
