All International Students on F-1 Visas who attend CSUN must be covered by Student Insurance at all times. Tseng College international students have the same requirements.
Please note: the insurance requirements are only for F-1 students who are IN the United States. If you are living outside of the U.S. and are taking courses online, due to COVID, you are not required to have student insurance. Whenever you are on a Tseng College I-20 and living in the U.S., you must have insurance.

If you have medical/health insurance through a spouse or when employed under OPT, you will probably need to buy evacuation and repatriation insurance only (“supplemental insurance”). You can purchase it from an insurance company you choose. It must provide at least $30,000 to cover repatriation and evacuation.
