You are required to purchase the UCR University Extension Student Injury and Sickness insurance plan, even if you have your own policy, for the duration of your studies.

All UCR University Extension students, regardless of visa status or program, must purchase the UCR University Extension Health Insurance.

The cost is currently $65 per week. Coverage is mandatory for the duration of your program of study and can be extended for the duration of Optional Practical Training (OPT). U.S. citizens and permanent residents may be exempt if they provide proof of insurance.
