1 Health Insurance

2 Mandatory Health Insurance Health insurance is mandatory for all Pace University students. All students are automatically charged a fee for health insurance in their student bills. Students may find a copy of the Pace University International Student Accident and Sickness Insurance policy here:

3 Waivers Pace University will consider waiving (removing or refunding) the fee for Health Insurance only if the student demonstrates coverage under another insurance policy. That coverage must be determined to be equal to or better than the coverage provided under the University s policy. Note: The non-university insurance policy would not necessarily provide coverage for Emergency Medical Evacuation and Repatriation of Remains. However, by signing a waiver form, the student acknowledges their understanding and acceptance that in cases where the student waives University health insurance for a policy that does not cover Emergency Medical Evacuation and Repatriation of Remains the student alone (and not the University) will be solely and exclusively responsible for any and all such expenses. Waiver forms are available here as well:
