Mandatory Insurance Requirement for F-1 Students
City College of San Francisco F-1 international students are required to purchase and maintain minimum essential health insurance coverage during their studies at CCSF. The college has mandated that F-1 visa students must fulfill these requirements by enrolling in the coverage chosen by the college for our international students.
All City College of San Francisco international students who are here on an F-1 visa (or have received a Form I-797A F-1 Change-of-Status Approval Notice from USCIS) are therefore required to purchase health insurance through: LewerMark Student Insurance with Aetna Health.
Enrollment in the insurance plan must be purchased and renewed before the beginning of every upcoming semester.
This health insurance requirement is mandatory for all international students under F-1 status (or who have received a Form I-797A F-1 Change-of-Status Approval Notice from USCIS).
Failure to purchase the mandatory health insurance is against CCSF school policy and will result in a registration hold, registered classes being dropped, and may negatively affect F-1 international student status and CCSF student record.
This insurance policy (LewerMark Student Insurance with Aetna Health) provides excellent medical coverage at a competitive price. Once you have enrolled in your health insurance for the semester, you will be able to choose your doctor(s) from a large number of health care providers in the San Francisco and Bay Area communities who are part of the Aetna network.
