Insurance for Study Abroad

Insurance is required

You are required to maintain adequate health insurance coverage at all times while abroad. In order to meet the CSU requirements for health insurance on an SDSU study abroad program, you must purchase the appropriate insurance for your program type. Domestic or alternate insurance plans will not be accepted for participation in SDSU-sponsored programs.
